HC Deb 03 December 1970 vol 807 cc443-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give the reasons why he will not introduce the necessary legislation to give him the authority to compel chief officers of the police to implement the fixed penalty system for vehicles which fail to show a current road fund licence.

Mr. Sharples

Because it would not be appropriate for my right hon. Friend to have such a power.
