§ MR. MARKHAMI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the total number of deaths and accidents to persons caused by motor-propelled vehicles in the Metropolitan police area during the first eight or nine months of this year.
§ MR. GLADSTONEThe number of accidents during the months January to September, 1908, inclusive, in which personal injury resulted was 2,945. In 105 cases the injuries proved fatal.
§ MR. CARR-GOMM (Southwark, Rotherhithe)asked if these accidents were not largely caused by allowing omnibuses to travel through narrow winding streets quite unsuitable for the traffic?
§ *MR. SPEAKERThat is a matter on which hon. Members can form their own opinion.
