HC Deb 23 July 1925 vol 186 cc2407-8
75. Mr. TAYLOR

asked the Minister of Transport if he proposes to take any steps to make it compulsory for motor omnibuses to fit anti-splash devices in the winter months?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on 4th May to the hon. Member for the Stratford Division (Mr. Groves), of which I am sending him a copy.

Mr. TAYLOR

Might we not expect the Minister to give us an answer to a question like this without referring us back to a reply given some months ago?

Colonel ASHLEY

I can give the hon. Member the gist of the answer very easily.

Mr. SPEAKER

I would point out that, at the request of hon. Members, I have arranged for an index to be kept in the Library of previous questions, in order to avoid repetition at Question Time, and I hope hon. Members will utilise that index.
