HC Deb 27 October 1971 vol 823 c350W
96. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he has taken, or intends taking, to advertise the fact that it is now an automatic ticket offence for a road vehicle to be on the road without the display of a current road fund licence, even where such a licence is in being; and whether such advertising will include television advertising.

Mr. Sharpies

It is for each chief officer of police to decide whether the fixed penalty system shall be applied to the offence in his area and, if so, whether and how to give publicity to the decision.
