HC Deb 05 May 1914 vol 62 c140W
Mr. BOWERMAN

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the result of his inquiry into the case of the taxi-cab driver, named Morgan, who was committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter, found not guilty, received his licence back and returned to work, but was informed a few weeks later by the authorities of Scotland Yard that his licence had been cancelled?

Mr. McKENNA

I have consulted the judge and the Commissioner of Police, and I agree that the latter is not in a position at present to certify Morgan to be a fit and proper person to be licensed as a motor-cab driver. If Morgan will make an application within twelve months from the date of cancellation of his licence, the Commissioner, as the licensing authority, will be prepared to consider his application.
