HC Deb 01 March 1934 vol 286 cc1247-8
11. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of dangerous or careless driving have been reported by the mobile police, under the control of his Department, in each of the past 12 months?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Gilmour)

I have no information as to cases arising elsewhere than in the Metropolitan Police District. As regards the Metropolitan District, I propose, as the answer involves a number of figures, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:
