HC Deb 05 August 1924 vol 176 cc2732-3
29. Mr. BOWERMAN

asked the Minister of Transport whether it is the intention of his Department to issue regulations similar to those in operation in Glasgow and elsewhere, whereby mechanically-propelled vehicles are not permitted to pass stationary tramcars engaged in putting down passengers?

Mr. GOSLING

I have no power to issue regulations similar to those referred to. It would require legislation to enable me to do so, and I am not satisfied that such legislation is desirable.

Mr. BOWERMAN

May we take it that it is of less importance to protect life and limb in London than in Glasgow?
