§ MR. SCOTT MONTAGU (Hampshire, New Forest)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the case of a Mr. Macleod, who has been summoned at the West London Police Court for an alleged infringement of Section 2, Subsection (b), of The Motor Cars Act, 1903; whether, in view of the fact that the special traders licence and number plate has hitherto been held to cover the case of motor-cars used by a trader in the pursuance of his business, he will state what action he proposes to take.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) I am informed that the point at issue in the case to which my hon. friend refers is whether or not the car in question was being used by a trader in pursuance of his business, so as to bring it within the enactment quoted. I can express no opinion with regard to a case pending in a Court of Law.
