HC Deb 11 November 1937 vol 328 c1826
38. Mr. Perkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will state the total number of motorists convicted by the Swindon magistrates for exceeding 30 miles per hour; and what proportion of these had their licences suspended during 1936 and 1937?

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir Samuel Hoare)

During 1936 the number of persons who were convicted by the Swindon magistrates of exceeding a speed limit of 30 miles per hour was 182, of whom two were disqualified from holding a driving licence. During the first nine months of this year the corresponding figures were 86 and none.

Viscountess Astor

How often can a motorist have his licence suspended and still keep on?
