§ Mr. MACLEANasked the Home Secretary whether seeing that no one can be convicted of the offence of exceeding the speed limit on the evidence of one witness only, he will make inquiries into the conviction and endorsement of the licence of Mr. Wain at Sheffield on 3rd December on the evidence of one witness, with a view to quashing the conviction?
§ Mr. LLOYDMy right hon. Friend is making inquiries into the case referred to but in the meantime I may perhaps point out that the relevant provision of the Statute is not fully stated in the hon. Member's question. The provision is that a person shall not be liable to be convicted solely on the evidence of one witness to the effect that in the opinion of the witness the person prosecuted was driving at a speed in excess of the prescribed limit.
