HC Deb 10 July 1930 vol 241 c606
35. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Home Secretary whether the Metropolitan police intend, after the passage of the Road Traffic Bill, to continue the system of first warnings to motorists for all minor offences without immediately proceeding to prosecution.

Mr. CLYNES

Under the present system, the warning, as an alternative to prosecution for minor offences, is not given automatically, but each case is considered on its merits. There is no intention at present to alter the system.
