HC Deb 26 January 1971 vol 810 c106W
Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Her Majesty's Government will sign the Council of Europe Convention on the punishment of road traffic offences; and whether he will now make an explanatory statement.

Mr. Sharples

We should not be in a position to accede to the convention without fundamental changes in our law, which my right hon. Friend cannot see his way to proposing.
