Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder: Policing.


Public Disorder: Policing

My Lords, as I said in the Statement, 2,800 officers were in and around central London on Thursday. I do not have the figures on how many of those originated from forces outside London but if I can find out I shall let the noble Baroness know. As far as ID numbers are concerned, she is entirely correct in her understanding that these should be uncovered so that individual police officers can be identified by members of the general public or anyone else. They should not be covered up, and there are standing instructions to make sure that those numbers are not hidden from sight.
