HC Deb 28 June 1905 vol 148 cc376-7
MR. SCOTT-MONTAGU

I beg to ask the hon. Member for Chorley, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether any complaints have been received from the public as to motorcars in Hyde Park; and, if so, the nature of the complaints.

LORD BALCARRES

The reply to the first paragraph is in the affirmative: noise, speed, smell, smoke, and dust are complained of.

MR. SOARES (Devonshire, Barnstaple)

Cannot the noble Lord also add danger?

MR. BRIGHT (Shropshire, Oswestry)

Is it not the fact that there is no smell or disagreeableness from electric cars?

LORD BALCARRES

Perhaps no smell; but there may be objections of another sort.
