3. Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALLasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the great number of accidents to motorists at cross roads, he will, for the purpose of reducing such accidents, consider introducing and enforcing a Regulation that at cross roads the driver of a motor car should be obliged to give way to a vehicle approaching from another road on his right or off-side?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon)I have been asked to reply. I have no power to make such a Regulation, neither am I at present convinced of the advantages claimed for it.
Sir F. HALLThe hon. and gallant Gentleman may not have power to make such Regulations, but my question is to the Home Secretary, and I thought that he would have power to deal with these matters. Has the Home Secretary any such powers?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE far the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)I will consult the Minister of Transport, to see where the powers lie.
