§ Mr. Keyasked the Home Secretary whether reasonable steps, as stated in paragraph 3 of the Motor Vehicles (Control) Order, 1940, are intended to include the removal by police officers on patrol of any mechanical part of a motor-vehicle in order to render it immobile?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe object of this Order is to delay an enemy who might use an unattended car, and it would in my view be quite reasonable for the police to remove part of the mechanism of a car if it could not otherwise be made incapable of being driven away.
