HC Deb 29 June 1903 vol 124 c792
MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether in view of the speed at which motor-cars are driven through Hyde Park, he will authorise the police to prevent them entering the park until such time as the law is competent to restrain them?

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH (Derbyshire, W.)

The First Commissioner of Works asks me to invite the hon. Member's attention to the statement made on behalf of the Government in another place on Thursday last,† that the Government intend to proceed with their Bill for the regulation of motor traffic, and hope to introduce it this week. But the First Commissioner is also considering in concert with the police authorities what steps can best be taken to regulate the speed of vehicles in Hyde Park, Constitution-hill, and St. James's Park. †See page 538.
