asked the Home Secretary how many controls were instituted between a.m. 13th November, 1920, and p.m. 15th November, 1920, by the Metropolitan Police for detecting infringements of the speed limit and for detecting cases of dangerous driving, respectively, and with what success; and how many cases of dangerous driving were reported by the officers employed on ordinary or point duty during the same period?

Mr. SHORTT

During the week-end in question one control was worked for detecting infringements of the speed limit and nine controls for detecting offences other than speed. Three cases of excessive speed and eight other cases were reported. One case of dangerous driving was reported by police on ordinary duty, and six cases by police on point duty.
