23. Major Millsasked the Home Secretary whether the information he has from counties where a decelerometer is in use for testing on the road the brakes on motor vehicles shows that courts of justice are tending to accept the evidence of these machines?
§ Sir S. HoareI understand that in one county proceedings have been taken in a certain number of cases on the basis of evidence obtained by the use of these instruments. I am not, however, in a position to make any general statement regarding the extent to which the courts in this country are prepared to accept evidence obtained by this means.
Major MillsIf I send my right hon. Friend evidence as to the discrepancy and diversity of treatment in this matter, will he consider it?
§ Sir S. HoareYes, Sir, certainly.
