HC Deb 05 February 1970 vol 795 c182W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, without incurring disproportionate expenditure of time and effort, he will give for any stated period of time the number of prosecutions which were instituted by the police for pausing for three minutes in Lordship Lane, N.17; and how many automatic ticket fines were imposed for this offence, for any stated period, in this area.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

The records are not kept in a form which would enable information of the kind for which my hon. Friend asks to be extracted without disproportionate effort. The law makes no provision for fines to be imposed automatically.
