HC Deb 19 April 1920 vol 128 cc11-2
16. Commander Viscount CURZON

asked the Minister of Transport whether the new omnibus stopping places are considered to be satisfactory; and, if so, whether they are to be permanent?

Sir E. GEDDES

It is assumed that the hon. and gallant Member refers to the experiment mentioned in paragraph 6 of the Report of the Advisory Committee on London Traffic. The results of this experiment are considered to be satisfactory by the Technical Sub-Committee dealing with it. The Sub-Committee have in hand proposals for the continuance of the system and its extension to other routes.

Viscount CURZON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that numerous stopping-places for buses are exactly abreast of places of refuge in the streets?

Sir E. GEDDES

I was not aware of it, but I shall be glad to look into it.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that in cases where "stop by request " posts are put up, and buses are requested to stop, they do stop?
