HC Deb 11 March 1970 vol 797 c336W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to end the practice on the part of the police of sending through the post some time after an alleged incident charges that a motorist has committed an offence, in view of the fact that the motorist is not warned or accused in person and has no chance at the time of collecting witnesses or recording the incident.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

Section 241 of the Road Traffic Act, 1960, already makes provision on the point, and my right hon. Friend sees no need for advice to chief officers of police.
