§ 61. Mr. KINGasked whether inquiry has been made as to the localities in which accidents and fatalities due to vehicular traffic have chiefly occurred; if so, whether certain points or crossings in London streets can be indicated as specially dangerous; and whether he will give orders that, either by special public warnings, increased police control and regulation, or otherwise, efforts shall be made to reduce the dangers of the streets?
§ Mr. ELLIS GRIFFITHInquiries have been made, but many varying factors have to be taken into account, and it is found that the only certain conclusion that can be drawn is the obvious one, that the denser the traffic the greater proportion of accidents. Useful advice and warnings have recently been published in the Press, and the question of increased police control and regulation is now under consideration.
