Captain MURRAYasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that, notwithstanding the 2145 circular recently issued by the Commissioner of Police, many drivers of motor vehicles in London still continue, especially during the hours of darkness, to make excessive and inconsiderate use of warning signals; and whether, in these circumstances, he can hold out hopes of passing next Session legislation on the lines contained in the Motor Traffic (Street Noises) Bill introduced on 4th July, 1911, by the hon. Member for Kincardineshire?
§ Mr. BURNSIt is possible that the response to the circular issued by the Commissioner of Police has not been so good as was anticipated. I am not in a position at the moment to make any promise as regards legislation next Session, but the matter is engaging my attention.
