§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he is aware that the hon. Member for West Ham, North, wrote to him on 12th November, 1968, regarding a police officer using vehicle registration number 904 KMM whilst unlicensed, and that by 20th January no reply, other than a formal acknowledgment, had been sent; whether he will give details regard- 364W ing this case; and why a reply has been delayed.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganI wrote to my hon. Friend on 3rd December, reporting progress, but it was not until some days later that he put the police in a position to take matters further. Police inquiries were completed soon afterwards. The Director of Public Prosecutions was consulted, as required by law; and the outcome was reported to the Greater London Council which, I understand, is considering a prosecution.
