HC Deb 05 May 1932 vol 265 c1261
15. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Home Secretary what is the number of prosecutions of motorists for failing to notify the police of accidents in 1931 and 1932 to date?

Mr. STANLEY

Statistics for this offence are not kept separately from those for failing to stop after an accident. In 1931 the number of prosecutions in England and Wales for these two offences was 3,252. No figures for 1932 are yet available.

Mr. DAVIES

Could the hon. Gentleman give us an indication of whether they are on the increase or the decline?

Mr. STANLEY

I am afraid I could not.
