HC Deb 23 April 1953 vol 514 cc1393-4
39. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of the 1,300 drivers of vehicles prosecuted in the last year for exceeding 20 miles per hour in the Royal Parks were driving private motor cars, taxi-cabs and Government-owned vehicles, respectively.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

During 1952, proceedings for exceeding the speed limit in Hyde Park, St. James's and the Green Parks, and Regent's Park were taken against 1,383 persons, of whom 1,094 were driving private cars, 125 were driving cabs, 17 were driving goods vehicles and 147 were riding motor cycles. I regret that there is no information available about the number of Govern ment-owned vehicles included in these figures.
