§ 11. Colonel DAYasked the Home Secretary whether the diplomatic privileges afforded motor-cars belonging to the various foreign embassies and legations relieve them from the necessity of complying with the ordinary police traffic Regulations?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe hon. Member is no doubt aware that, in accordance with international law and custom, immunity from civil and criminal process is accorded to the persons entitled to diplomatic privileges. Such persons are expected to conform with the general traffic Regulations, and if in any instance these Regulations are not observed representations are made through the Foreign Office to the embassy or legation concerned.
