Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many infringements of the London Cab (No. 2) Order 1973 have been reported in the Metropolitan Police area since the order was made; how many of such reports were from the public and how many from the police themselves; and what percentage resulted in a prosecution being brought.

Dr. Summerskill

One hundred and sixty-two infringements have been reported, 24 by the members of the public and 138 by police offices. Of these, 25–15.5 per cent.—resulted in prosecutions, and 56 are still under consideration.
