§ Mr. Benjamin Smithasked the Home Secretary why the particulars as to the number of summonses issued in respect of offences connected with private motor vehicles, cabs and public carriages other than cabs, have been given under the single heading of mechanically propelled vehicles in Table No. 5 in the report of the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis for the year 1937; and whether he will give the details under the three headings as in previous years?
§ Sir S. HoareThe form of this table was changed because it was thought that the new sub-division would be of greater of general interest than the old. Of the 116,566 summonses in 1937 in respect of mechanically propelled vehicles, 112,977 were in connection with private motor-vehicles, 2,734 were in connection with cabs and 855 were in connection with other public carriages.
