HC Deb 13 April 1926 vol 194 c11
16. Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the number of accidents lately to public service vehicles in which passengers have been injured by splintered glass; and will he consider the advisability of enforcing the fitting of non-splinter-able glass in all passenger-carrying vehicles in the future?

Colonel ASHLEY

With regard to the first part of the hon. and gallant Member's question. I have no information. With regard to the second part, I am anxious to encourage the use of some form of un-splinter-able glass on public service vehicles, but I am advised that, for reasons of cost, it would not, for the present, be practicable to make its use compulsory.
