HC Deb 22 May 1936 vol 312 cc1529-30W
Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the case heard in the Appeal Court on 12th May in which Miss Maudie Cross, of Ipswich, was prosecuted for an offence under the Road Traffic Act, 1930, the result of which is that if two or more persons agree to share the fare of a

public safety and to ensure that passengers using public service vehicles making long journeys will know at what speed they are travelling through built-up and restricted areas, he will consider making an order under the Road Traffic Act for all such vehicles to carry efficient speedometers with their dials placed in such a position that they are visible to all passengers?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have considered this suggestion, but I do not think it practicable for the present to adopt it.
