HC Deb 22 July 1942 vol 382 c47W
Mr. W. Brown

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport in how many cases for the year ended 31st December, 1941, has he exercised his power under Section 23 (3) of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, to hold an inquiry where an accident has arisen out of the presence of a motor vehicle on a road?

Mr. Noel-Baker

None, Sir. Investigations have, however, been made in a number of cases where a defect in a vehicle or the condition of a road was alleged to be a contributory cause of an accident.
