HC Deb 16 June 1965 vol 714 cc83-4W
76. Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to empower police constables to impose on-the-spot fines, subject to appeal, on drivers whose vehicles infringe Regulation 79 of the Construction and Use Regulations 1955 by emitting smoke and fumes.

Miss Bacon

I assume that the hon. Member has in mind Regulation 80 of these Regulations. In my right hon. and learned Friend's view the methods of enforcement already available are preferable to that suggested.
