HC Deb 29 July 1936 vol 315 cc1519-20
41. Mr. A. REED

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in order to assist the motoring public in the observance of speed limits, he will arrange to place at their disposal means for synchronising their speedometers similar to those which are available to the mobile police?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

If a driver is in any doubt as to the accuracy of his speedometer, I am confident that the makers would be only too ready to test it for him.

Mr. REED

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is considerable public dissatisfaction in regard to this matter; and would it not be possible to have some means whereby the public could keep their speedometers synchronised?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have indicated a means.
