HC Deb 17 May 1904 vol 135 c40
MR. CATHCART WASON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the speed at which motorcycles are driven in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar Square and Pall Mall; and, if so, will he instruct the police to prosecute the offenders.

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Augustine's

I have not had my attention drawn to this particular matter, and I am informed by the police that they have neither noticed personally, nor received complaints as to cases of motor-cycles being driven in; the neighbourhood indicated at such speeds as to be a matter for prosecution. The police have full instructions as to enforcing the provisions of the Motor Car Act and any rules thereunder.
