§ 24. Mr. RAMSDENasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the numerous accidents occurring to motor omnibuses, he will consider whether regulations should be made that a first-aid outfit should always be carried?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThis matter has already been considered by the Departmental Committee who, I understand, are not satisfied that the provision of a first aid outfit on motor omnibuses is of sufficient importance to warrant a special regulation.
§ Mr. RAMSDENIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that it will mean the saving of life in the case of many accidents?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI think that is a mistaken view of the case, and that at the present moment I should be ill-advised to insist on an outfit being carried on omnibuses.
