HC Deb 30 March 1972 vol 834 c111W
Mr. Awdry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in criminal cases in which a person is charged with a driving offence arising out of an incident in which a person is killed, he will consider issuing instructions to chief constables that they shall give notice to the next of kin of the deceased person of the place and date of trial of the driver so charged.

Mr. Sharples

My right hon. Friend is arranging for the matter to be discussed with chief officers of police.
