§ 5. Mr. Pageasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will cause to be issued with new or renewed driving licences a brief pamphlet setting out the maximum penalties for motoring offences.
§ Mr. NugentNo, Sir; whilst I sympathise with the motives which have inspired my hon. Friend's Question, I doubt the deterrent effect of a pamphlet such as he proposes.
§ Mr. PageDoes not my hon. Friend recollect the successful deterrent effect of the publication of maximum penalties for such minor offences as pulling a communication cord and spitting? Will he not apply the same principles to these far more serious offences in motoring?
§ Mr. NugentNo, Sir. I do not think that it would have the effect for which my hon. Friend hopes.
