§ 76. Mr. Ian Lloydasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what further general directions on the administration of the breathalyser test he has issued to police forces since the issue of his departmental circular No. 129/1967.
§ Mr. TaverneMy right hon. Friend has no authority to give directions to the police about requiring breath tests of motorists and has given none, either in the circular mentioned by the hon. Member or otherwise.
§ 77. Mr. Ian Lloydasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he will now take steps to obtain a classification of the moving traffic offences alleged to have been committed by drivers of motor vehicles to whom breathalyser tests have been administered since it became law.
§ Mr. TaverneNo. It would entail too great a diversion of police effort.
