§ 39. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the danger to pedestrians caused by taxi-cabs, private motors, and motor omnibuses proceeding at a rapid rate along wide thoroughfares, especially thoroughfares dimly lighted like Park Lane and the Embankment, he will consider the advisability of issuing new regulations governing the speed of motor traffic in London after dark?
§ 66. Mr. WHITEHOUSEasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been called to the number of accidents in the darkened streets of London; and if he proposes to impose a lower speed limit for motor traffic after sunset?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Simon)This matter is one on which I am in communication with the Local Government Board, and I hope very shortly to be able to announce the result.
