HC Deb 16 May 1989 vol 153 c138W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will describe the system which grants Ministers immunity from prosecution for driving offences while on official business.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

In general, road traffic law applies to vehicles and persons in the public service of the Crown as it applies to other motorists. Ministers have no immunity from prosecution for driving offences.
