†See (4) Debates, lxxx., 1067.1103 the Local Government Board if he will consider the advisability of affording pedestrians and owners of horses and carriages, injured by motor cars, the moans furnished by European countries of identifying their owners by a conspicuous number on the motor car.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. GRANT LAWSON, Yorkshire, N.R., Thirsk)My right hon, friend is in sympathy with the object which my hon. and gallant friend has in view, but legislation would be necessary to give effect to it. The subject, however, is under his consideration.

§ MR. GRANT LAWSONQuestions as to the possibility of legislation should, I think, be addressed to the Prime Minister.
