§ 38. Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the fact that in the last three months 304 child pedestrians and cyclists were killed, compared with 267 in the corresponding period last year, what action he proposes to take to deal with the increased danger to young people on the roads?
§ Sir J. ReithThe figures are deplorable. I informed the House recently that a road safety publicity campaign was being arranged for the autumn. I am also proposing a grant to the National "Safety First" Association, who are to deal particularly with young people.
§ Mr. WatkinsWill the right hon. Gentleman in that publicity campaign particularly emphasise the danger to children through going on to public roads?
§ Sir J. ReithYes, Sir.
