§ Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to recent cases in which doctors who have been urgently summoned to attend patients lying dangerously ill or who have met with serious accidents have been summoned for exceeding the speed limit; and will he consider issuing regulations that will allow medical practitioners in these circumstances, provided some distinguishing sign is exhibited on the front of their cars, to exceed the speed limit when necessary?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI have no power to make regulations on the subject and agree with the view expressed by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary that the matter can best be left to the courts.
