§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has, by country of diplomat, of the numbers of persons stopped on suspicion of committing moving traffic offences in respect of whom the police have taken no further action when the person has successfully claimed diplomatic immunity in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MellorThe table below sets out, for each of the last five years, the total number of moving traffic offences which are alleged to have been committed by persons who were entitled to diplomatic immunity.
Number 1980 197 1981 170 1982 156 1983 190 1984 98 Since none of the alleged offences has resulted in court proceedings, it would be inappropriate to relate them to particular missions.
