HC Deb 17 November 1982 vol 32 cc164-5W
Mr. Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish in the Official Report on an annual basis since 1975 the number of persons found guilty of excess alcolhol in the blood, in charge of a heavy goods vehicle.

Mr. Mayhew

The information requested is not available separately for drivers of heavy goods vehicles and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Information on findings of guilt of drivers of all types of vehicles is published annually in "Offences relating to motor vehicles, England and Wales Supplementary Tables"—part of offence group 3 in tables 4 and 6 of the issue for 1980—a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House.
