HC Deb 04 March 1931 vol 249 c411W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the lack of close definition, under the Road Traffic Act, of the waiting period during which any motorist must stop and give details of his identification; and whether, in conjunction with the Home Office, he will consider the desirability of advising the different police forces as to the normal length of such waiting period?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

No representations have been made to me that drivers of motor vehicles have been subjected to any unreasonable delay in connection with the production to police constables of drivers' licences or of evidence of compliance with the provisions of Part 11 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930. If the hon. Member will supply me with further particulars, I will consult with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State.
