asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to a case last month at Ashby-de-la-Zouch county court where a motorist had caused serious injury to one of the public through negligent driving; and, if the local police did not institute proceedings in the matter, what action does he propose to take?

I learn on inquiry that the evidence in this case was not such as to justify criminal proceedings against the driver of the motor-car. There is no action I could take in the matter.
