HC Deb 12 May 1971 vol 817 c127W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has now considered the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Buckoke and Others versus the Greater London Council; if he will introduce amending legislation to enable drivers of fire appliances, ambulances and police vehicles to be exempt from prosecution when disobeying robot traffic signals while on emergency calls and when it is safe so to do; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sharples

My right hon. Friend is considering the implications of the judgment in consultation with my right hon. Friends, the Secretaries of State for Social Services, for Scotland and for the Environment.
