§ SIR HENRY FOWLERI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether any regulation has been made by the Local Government Board for compelling electric motor-cars to give the audible and sufficient warning required by Section 3 of The Locomotives on Highways Act, 1896.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOUROne of the regulations in the Motor-Cars (Use and Construction) Order, 1904, issued by the Local Government Board, makes it the duty of every person driving or in charge of a motor-car to give, whenever necessary, by sounding the bell or other instrument required by the section referred to in the Question, audible and sufficient warning of the approach or position of the motor-car.
§ SIR HENRY FOWLERIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that that regulation is habitually disregarded by nearly all electrical broughams in London?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI am not able to answer that Question, which I think ought to be addressed to the Home Secretary.
