§ Mr. HunterTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many convictions there were in England and Wales in 1987 for the offence of driving while disqualified; and what assessment he has made of the actual incidence of driving whilst disqualified which remains undetected.
§ Mr. John PattenThe number of findings of guilt for driving while disqualified is published annually in Home Office statistical bulletins, "Offences, relating to motor vehicles, England and Wales" (table 9 of issue 32/88 gives figures up to 1987). Further information is given in a companion volume of supplementary tables; the issue for 1987 will be published soon.
Information on the level of undetected offences of driving while disqualified is not available.
