§ 41. Lieut.-Colonel RUDKINasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that fast-moving traffic is frequently held up for long intervals in main thoroughfares during the busiest time of the day by hand carts, donkey carts, lorries, and other slow-moving vehicles; and will he consider the possibility of putting such regulations in force as will ameliorate or remove this evil?
§ Mr. GOSLINGI have at present no powers in the matter.
§ Lieut.-Colonel RUDKINI did not hear the answer of the hon. Gentleman; may I have it?
§ Mr. GOSLINGI did not give any, except that I have no powers.
§ Captain BRASSWill the hon. Gentleman have powers in the new Traffic Bill?
§ Mr. GOSLINGWhen I get it.
§ Lieut.-Colonel RUDKINIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the whole object of motor omnibuses is to speed up the traffic?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe matter will doubtless be discussed this afternoon, when the Bill is before the House. Perhaps the hon. and gallant Gentleman will help it to get through?
