HC Deb 16 October 1969 vol 788 c116W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why information on the number of spot checks on road traffic to ascertain to what extent the law is being broken with regard to tyres, lights, brakes, insurance, seat belts. road tax licences, exhaust fumes and noise and steering is not readily available to him and Members of Parliament; and whether he will take such action as may be necessary to ensure that this information is made available.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

Since there are limits on the amount of information which I can appropriately ask chief officers of police to provide; and I have not felt justified in requesting them to supply me with such information as they have on these particular matters.
