To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of police force public procurement in buying British made vehicles.

The Home Office does not prescribe requirements on police forces in relation to buying British vehicles.

It is a matter for each Force to assess and procure products and services that are proportionate to local needs to ensure effective policing for their area, and within their existing budget.
