HC Deb 09 November 1908 vol 195 c1695
SIR HENRY CRAIK (Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has any official information showing that the motor omnibuses which bear the inscription of "Union Jack" are of a faulty type and are specially liable to cause noise and nuisance in the streets; and, if so, why these omnibuses are licensed, to the discouragement of companies which provide better vehicles.

MR. GLADSTONE

I am informed that three different types of motor omnibuses run under the name of "Union Jack." It cannot be said that the types are faulty, but individual vehicles may, of course, become objectionable through not receiving attention in good time.
