§ 25. Mr. DAYasked the Home Secretary the number of first warnings that have been given to motorists during the previous 12 months in the Metropolitan Police Area as an alternative to prosecution for minor motor offences?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe total number of warnings given for minor motoring offences for the period of 12 months ended 28th February, 1931, was 35,300.
§ Mr. CLYNESI am sure that motorists prefer to be warned in the first instance rather than to have other proceedings taken.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYDo not these extraordinary figures show how very lenient and considerate are the Police?
§ Mr. CLYNESI think they do.
