HC Deb 13 November 1911 vol 31 c14
Captain MURRAY

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that, notwithstanding the warning circular issued by the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police on the 25th August, many motorists still continue to drive in London with open cut-outs; and whether, in these circumstances, he will make regulations under Section 6 of the Locomotives on Highways Act, 1896, to prohibit motorists from employing the cut-out in urban areas?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)

I have been considering this subject, and am now in communication with the motor organisations. I hope it may be possible to deal with this matter at an early date.

Captain MURRAY

Will the regulations the right hon. Gentleman proposes to make be applicable in urban areas as well as in the country?

Mr. BURNS

Yes, throughout the United Kingdom.
