HC Deb 19 July 1968 vol 768 c294W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it takes as long as nine months in many instances for prosecutions to ensue after the Metropolitan Police have reported motorists for not having a road fund licence; whether he is aware that this long delay enables the guilty to evade punishment; and what action he proposes to take to expedite these prosecutions.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

Prosecution is a matter for the appropriate licensing authorities.
