§ Mr. LAMB (for Major Harvey)asked the Home Secretary if, in view of the lack of the observance of the regulations relating to the use of efficient silencers on motor vehicles, he will take steps to have these Regulations more effectively carried out?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI have been asked to answer this question. I have no powers in connection with the enforcement of the regulations referred to. The enforcement of the law is a matter for the individual police authorities.
Lieut.-Colonel WATTS-MORGANIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware of the very strong desire that all Members of this House who drive motor cars should have their silencers increased to double the ordinary strength, so as to secure a larger measure of safety to the public from their tendency to scorching?
§ Major McKENZIE WOODOn a point of Order. Is an hon. Member entitled to ask a question on behalf of another hon. Member on the first round?
§ Mr. SPEAKERNo. That has escaped my notice.
Mr. THOMSONMight I ask my question No. 75, seeing that I should, in the ordinary course, have had the opportunity of doing so?
§ Mr. SPEAKERYes.
