Vessels on Inland Waters (Immobilisation) (Hansard, 10 June 1943)

HC Deb 10 June 1943 vol 390 c836 836

§ 38. Major Petherick
asked the Home Secretary whether there have been any prosecutions under the Vessels on Inland Waters (Immobilisation) Order, 1940 (A) which is now being revoked in respect of certain areas under Statutory Rules and Orders, 1943, No. 772, of 20th May?

§ Mr. H. Morrison
Yes, Sir. There have been a number of successful prosecutions.

§ Major Petherick
Can my right hon. Friend say how many?

§ Mr. Morrison
No, Sir, I am afraid I cannot. There are no complete statistics on the matter, and the labour of collecting them would be out of proportion in existing circumstances.
