Mr. R. Duckworthasked the Home Secretary how many prosecutions have been instituted against motorists involved in road fatalities during the past year; and whether he can classify the outcome of these cases?
§ Mr. LloydThe only figures available are those relating to proceedings for manslaughter in connection with the driving of a motor vehicle. During 1936 the number of prosecutions for this offence was 125 and in 105 of these cases the offender was committed for trial. The results of these proceedings will be found on page 3 of the Annual Return of Offences relating to Motor Vehicles, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
