§ 67. Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is satisfied that, under existing legislation, adequate opportunity is given to the parties involved in a motor accident to institute a private prosecution in cases where the police decide not to prosecute; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsWhen the police decide not to prosecute it is in most cases too late for a notice of intended 207W prosecution to be served. But I have no evidence that a change in the law would be desirable.
