HC Deb 20 December 1934 vol 296 c1325
50. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that Mr. L. Kenney, 84, Polmadie Road, Glasgow, was, at the Kilmarnock sheriff's court on Friday last, fined and disqualified from holding a licence for motor-driving on pleading guilty to allowing another person to drive the motor-van he had charge of, although that person held a licence to drive; that Mr. Kenney has been with the same employer for eight years since he left school and this is the first complaint against him; and that he is the only person working in a household of five; and if he will review the case with a view to the second part of the sentence being remitted and the driving licence restored?

Mr. SKELTON

My right hon. Friend is inquiring into the case, and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Cannot something be done? Is the hon. Gentleman aware of the terrible hardship on this man being deprived of his livelihood?

Mr. SKELTON

I am well aware of the circumstances, but I cannot add anything to the answer which I have given.

Mr. BUCHANAN

I will try to raise this matter on the Adjournment tomorrow.
