§ MR. NIELDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the driver of Captain Clive Bigham was, in September last, sent to prison for driving a motor car to the public danger; and will he say whether, as Secretary of the Motor Car Commission, Captain Clive Bigham had any control or, in fact, exercised any control over the evidence given or tendered before that Commission.
§ MR. GLADSTONECaptain Bigham informs me that a driver temporarily in his employ was convicted in September, 1905, of driving to the common danger in the High Street, Eton. He himself was not present. He dismissed the man in consequence of this offence, as he had previously warned him about driving carefully. As to the last part of the Question, I have no information, but I see no reason to doubt that Lord Selby and his colleagues on the Commission followed the usual course in the discharge of their duties.
