HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 c1255
52. Mr. Creech Jones

asked the Home Secretary whether he has a record of the number of persons convicted of manslaughter arising out of road accidents in 1937 who were not permanently deprived of their licences?

Sir S. Hoare

As I explained in answer to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for South Cardiff (Captain A. Evans) on 3rd February, the returns for 1937 are not yet complete. According to the provisional figures, there were 15 cases of conviction, in 13 of which the court imposed a period of disqualification. In one case disqualification was for life, in three cases for 15 years, in five cases for 10 years, and in four cases for seven years.
