HC Deb 28 March 1935 vol 299 cc2064-5
12. Mr. WEST

asked the Home Secretary whether, in cases where one party in a road accident has sustained injuries so that he is unable to collect information himself, he will arrange that such information shall be given free by the police on application by the individual concerned?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I do not think the fact that a person has been injured is in itself a sufficient ground for waiving the usual charge for furnishing abstracts from the police reports, but the charge can be waived in any case where the chief constable considers it would involve any hardship on the person concerned.
