asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will reply to the letter from the hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury, dated 23rd September asking under what statutory powers the Metropolitan Police carry out spot checks on the identity of vehicle drivers.

I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as I have considered a report from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, which I expect to receive shortly.
