§ 86. Mr. WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether roller-skating by children in the asphalted streets is now forbidden in any, and, if so, which of the London boroughs; and which borough councils have passed by-laws to repress roller-skating and been refused sanction by the Home Office?
§ Mr. McKENNABy-laws regulating, in the interests of public safety, the practice of roller-skating in the streets are in force in Camberwell, Hammersmith, Lambeth, Southwark, Stoke Newington, and Woolwich. By-laws adopted by the Islington and Stoke Newington Borough Councils, which went further, and would have prohibited the practice absolutely, have been disallowed. The Stoke Newington Council submitted a second by-law, part of which was allowed.
§ Mr. WEDGWOODIn the boroughs first named is the practice of roller skating still allowed on the asphalted streets, though not on the payement?
§ Mr. McKENNAI believe that to be so, but perhaps my hon. Friend will kindly give me notice, because I must make further inquiry.
