§ SIR THOMAS DEWAR (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will endeavour to arrauge for regulations to be issued in regard to covered vans, so that the extent of view to be provided for the driver under the London County Council bye-law, recently 1235 confirmed by the Secretary of State, may be made perfectly clear.
§ * THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. AKERS-DOUGLAS,) Kent, St. Angustine'sI have no power to make any such regulations; and it seems to me that the terms of the bye-law which I indicated to my hon. friend the other day are sufficiently clear, viz., that the driver must have a full and uninterrupted view in front and abreast of him on each side. Whether in any given case this requirement is satisfied is a question which must be settled according to the facts of the case—by a Court of Law, if necessary.
