§ Mr. Howeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will require the Chief Constable of Preston to submit to him a report on the circumstances of each case leading to a conviction in which radar speed testing equipment has been used, in view of the cases in the county borough of Preston in which such equipment has been used in a manner such as to produce results of doubtful accuracy.
§ Mr. George ThomasMy right hon. Friend is informed that radar speed meters have been operated since last autumn by the Preston Borough Police without difficulty, and he does not think that any useful purpose would be served by requestin reports from the Chief Constable on all the cases in which the equipment has been used.
§ Mr. Howeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make regulations as to the design and performance of radar speed-testing equipment so as to ensure that such equipment is used only in such a way as will ensure the accuracy of the information which it purports to record.
§ Mr. George ThomasRadar speed-testing equipment is in general use and314W works satisfactorily. My right hon. Friend is not aware of any evidence to suggest that the making of regulations is necessary.
