HC Deb 26 January 1981 vol 997 c274W
Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions for obstruction involving newspaper sellers there have been so far this year compared with last year.

Mr. Mayhew

Information collected centrally on offences of obstructions under the Highways Act 1959 does not show separately offences involving newspaper sellers.

Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to amend the law relating to obstruction, so as to clarify the position of sellers of newspapers.

Mr. Mayhew

No.
