§ Mr. John Pageasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions have been instituted in respect of faulty lighting of vehicles, divided if possible into different classes of vehicles, over a convenient number of years; and in how many cases the driver alone, the owners of the vehicle alone, or both, were prosecuted.
§ Mr. George ThomasThe numbers of prosecutions in England and Wales for lighting offences during the years 1960 to 1963 were as follows:
1960 … … … … 47,377 1961 … … … … 55,739 1962 … … … … 62,938 1963 … … … … 68,416 It would involve a disproportionate effort to provide particulars of the different classes of vehicles involved. The information requested in the second part of the Question is not available.
