Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1963 (Offences)

HC Deb 01 November 1965 vol 718 cc129-30W

Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many times enforcement proceedings have been instituted by the police in respect of Regulation 73(2) of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1963, in the past 12 months.

Mr. George Thomas

During the twelve months ended 31st December, 1964, proceedings were instituted in 11,087 cases for offences involving dangerous loads. I regret that separate figures for insecure loads dealt with under Regulation 73(2) of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1963 are not available.
