§ Lord John HopeThe number of prosecutions for offences committed in the period 4th August to 3rd December in each of the four years was:
1957 None 1958 None 1959 2 1960 29 The 1960 figure reflects the vigorous enforcement of the new speed limit which, in the House on 18th July last, I undertook to ensure.
