§ MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will take steps to place the law with respect to motor cars on a more satisfactory footing by removing the present hard-and-fast limit as to speed, subject to due security for the safety and convenience of other users of public roads, by requiring registration of the vehicles, and by enacting a high maximum penalty for breaches of these and any other conditions it may seem desirable to impose.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG, Bristol, S.)I have in preparation a Bill on this subject, and I hope shortly to be in a position to introduce it.
§ MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)Will it provide that numbers be affixed 1372 to motor cars, so that they can be readily identified?
§ MR. WALTER LONGReally, the hon. Gentleman had better wait until the Bill is introduced. I am considering that point.
