HC Deb 27 June 1966 vol 730 c189W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that at 11 a.m. on the morning of Tuesday, 21st June, out of 33 vehicles in a 100-yard stretch of the Caledonian Road within the vicinity of the police station, 19 were without current road fund licences; what action the police have taken with regard to this matter; and, as every morning and afternoon the situation is similar, whether he will ask the police to take action.

Mr. Taverne

The Commissioner of Police tells me that he has no information about the use of apparently unlicensed motor vehicles in the Caledonian Road at the time mentioned.
