HC Deb 28 July 1913 vol 56 cc36-7
89. Mr. WILLIAM THORNE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the excessive speed of the War Office motor cars upon public highways; if his attention has been drawn to the statement made by the police at the Atherstone Police Court on Tuesday that in some cases the War Office motor cars travel at 50 to 60 miles per hour; and whether he intends taking any action in the matter?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Seely)

I have seen a report in the Press, but I understand that the statements made were not proved. Instructions as to careful and considerate driving have been issued to all drivers of Army motor vehicles.
