HC Deb 10 December 1970 vol 808 c172W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, to relieve the authorities concerned of the time and costs involved in prosecutions for the offences of not having the necessary vehicle documents, he will instruct the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis to impound vehicles which do not show a current road fund licence and to ensure that these vehicles are not released from the pound until the production of all relevant documents and licences.

Mr. Sharples

My right hon. Friend has no authority to do so.
