§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)To ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether his attention has been called to the reports, of the Chief Constables of Surrey and other counties as to the danger caused by the excessive speed at which motor cars are driven. And, whether he will obtain facilities for the early consideration of the Bill promoted by the Automobile Club and introduced by the hon. Member for the New Forest Division of Hants, providing for the identification of motor cars by a conspicuous number, and for the licensing of motor drivers, or adopt other measures for the safety of the public.
(Answered by Mr. Waller Long.) I have seen a recent report of the Chief Constable of Surrey, and I am aware that complaints frequently have been made as to the danger caused by the excessive speed of motor cars. The latter part of the Question is really one for my right hon. friend the head of the Government, but I am afraid there is no probability that the Bill referred to could be proceeded with during the present Session.
