HC Deb 31 March 1926 vol 193 c2070W
Colonel DAY

asked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the difficulty experienced by persons charged under the Motor Car Acts for dangerous driving, owing to the refusal of the police authorities to give information as to what facts constitute the charge under the Act; and will he, in order to allow of an adequate defence being prepared, cause to be stated on the summonses sufficient details of the acts intended to be proved in evidence?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I am not aware that any hardship arises which could be avoided, and, in any event, I do not, as at present advised, consider that any difficulty which may exist could properly be met by requiring detailed statements of allegations to be added to summonses.
