HC Deb 03 August 1922 vol 157 cc1655-6
22. Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the question of setting up a. Committee to inquire into the advisability of introducing legislation to make a statutory rule of the road for pedestrians, and as to whether that rule should differ in towns and in the country roads where there are no pavements or footpaths?

Mr. SHORTT

The answer is in the negative.

Lieut.-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

In order to remove doubts, would the right hon. Gentleman say whether it is right. to keep to the right or right to keep to the left, and therefore wrong to keep to the right; may I also ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will take steps to alter the law to make all vehicles keep to the right, so that everybody would keep to the right, and everything would be all right?

Mr. SPEAKER

That sounds like a Civil Service examination.
