HC Deb 11 May 1987 vol 116 c18W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make arrangements similar to those planned for the detection of road fund licence offences by means of roadside checks in the London area for the detection of excess alcohol offences.

Mr. Douglas Hurd

Within the powers provided by the legislation, the steps taken to enforce the law on drinking and driving are a matter for individual chief officers of police.
