HC Deb 07 July 1908 vol 191 cc1460-1
MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of future legislation with reference to motor traffic, he will obtain and circulate as a Parliamentary Paper Reports from America, France, Germany, Austria, and Italy, shortly summarising the laws as regards speed on town and country roads; and whether in any of the said countries there is any examination of drivers in mechanics or road knowledge.

SIR EDWARD GREY

Full information on this subject will be found in Annex I. to the Report on the Law and Practice as to Motor Cars in the Principal Foreign Countries, issued by the Royal Commission on Motor Cars at the end of 1906, to which I must refer the hon. Member. If more recent information is required, I will endeavour to obtain it.
