§ 44. Mr. MALCOLMasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the penalties inflicted by the Seneschal of Sark upon two cabdrivers in the island of Sark who infringed an ordinance relating to the restriction of vehicles being driven on Sundays by obeying an order to attend at the harbour on Sunday, 2nd July, to meet His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, who was visiting the island; and whether he can remit these sentences and procure the cancellation of this and other obsolete ordinances?
Mr. SAMUELMy attention had not been previously drawn to the matter. I 46 am making inquiry, but there has not been time for a reply to reach me. I will communicate with the hon. Member when my inquiries are complete.
