HC Deb 29 March 1920 vol 127 c858
56. Lieut.-Colonel MALONE

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider the diversion of slow horse traffic from certain thoroughfares in London during the most crowded periods of the day?

Sir E. GEDDES

The Advisory Committee have recommended that additional powers be taken which would render possible the diversion suggested if considered necessary in the interests of general traffic.

Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

Do these powers contemplate the abolition of anything beyond mechanically-controlled traffic?

Sir E. GEDDES

I must have notice of that.

Mr. CHADWICK

Does the right hon. Gentleman separate the different classes of traffic?

Mr. G. TERRELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman lay the Report of the Advisory Committee on the Table of the House?

Sir E. GEDDES

It is in the Report of the London Traffic Committee which has already been laid on the Table.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Does it apply to all sorts of horse traffic and does slow horse traffic include race horses?
