HC Deb 27 November 1941 vol 376 c904W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Home Secretary whether, while reserving to those who desire it the right of judicial procedure, he will consider a system of fines on the spot for minor motoring offences when the offender admits the offence and desires it to be dealt with in this way and so save the time of all concerned if legal proceedings have to be instituted in every instance?

Mr. H. Morrison

Proposals of this sort have frequently been considered, and examination of them suggests the disadvantages would outweigh any advantages in the way of saving time.
