§ Mr. ROBINSONasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the regulations as to dangerous driving are not being adequately enforced in many areas; and whether he will give instructions to police forces throughout the country to take special notice of the speeds at which heavy commercial vehicles are driven through small towns and villages?
Mr. STANLEYThe attention of Chief Officers of Police was specially directed to this matter by my right hon. Friend's predecessor a few months ago, and there is no reason to doubt that all practicable steps are taken by the police to check excessive speeding on the part of drivers of heavy vehicles. As at present advised, my right hon. Friend does not think that any further instructions on the subject are called for.
