HC Deb 24 July 1923 vol 167 c215
41. Lieut.-Colonel NALL

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport if he can say when he pro poses to introduce a Bill to enact the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on the Regulation of Road Vehicles; and whether he is aware of the many anomalies arising from the present state of the law?

Colonel ASHLEY

I hope that an early opportunity will present itself of introducing a Road Vehicles Bill, giving effect to many of the recommendations contained in the Second Interim Report of the Departmental Committee. I am fully aware of the anomalies referred to in the last part of the question.

Lieut.-Colonel NALL

Can the hon. and gallant Gentleman say whether the Bill will be introduced in the present Session of Parliament?

Colonel ASHLEY

As the hon. and gallant Gentleman knows, a Traffic Bill for London is under consideration, and that it is more difficult to drive a tandem than it is to drive a single horse.
