HC Deb 23 October 1967 vol 751 c381W
Mr. Ryan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions took place in 1964, 1965 and 1966 for the use on the roads of Hillingdon of unfit vehicles.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Statistics of prosecutions are not prepared for individual boroughs, and the expense of obtaining figures for Hillingdon alone in 1965 and 1966 and for the area now comprised in Hillingdon prior to 1st April 1965 would not be justified.

In X Division of the Metropolitan police district, which includes the London boroughs of Ealing and Hillingdon, there were 650 prosecutions in 1966 in respect of defective vehicles and 323 in the period from 1st April onwards in 1965. Divisional boundaries in the Metropolitan police district were revised on 1st April 1965, and there are therefore no comparable figures for 1964 or the first 3 months of 1965.
