HC Deb 17 February 1967 vol 741 c175W
Sir R. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions have been made for emitting smoke and fumes from lorry and car exhausts on the M1 in the past six months; and what evidence he has of improvements in maintenance resulting from this action.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

One hundred. There is no reliable evidence about the effect of these prosecutions on standards of maintenance.
