§ 31. Sir G. Foxasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what instructions are given to constables in the Metropolitan Police area in cases of trivial motor car driving offences for the taking of civilians to police stations if they ask to be taken in a motor car or taxi which the civilian offers to provide.
§ Mr. EdePersons who commit trivial, motoring offences in the Metropolitan Police district are not normally taken to police stations. In more serious cases it is for the officer making an arrest to decide whether any form of transport should be used to take the person who has been arrested to the nearest station.
