Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Minister for the Home Department, whether guidance has been issued to the emergency services on the use of directional sirens on their vehicles.
The use of sirens by the police and other emergency services is controlled by Regulation 99 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986.
It is for the emergency services to consider how best to use their professional judgment to decide when and where the use of sirens is appropriate.
