§ 37 and 38. Sir F. MEYERasked the Minister of Transport (1) whether his attention has been called to the increasing number of motor accidents; and whether he is contemplating any action in the matter;
(2) whether it is the intention of the Government to proceed with the Bill for the control of motor vehicles introduced by him this Session?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI can assure my hon. Friend that I have constantly before me the question of motor accidents, and I would refer him to the answer, of which I am sending him a copy, which I gave on the 27th April, to the hon. Member for South-east Southwark (Mr. Naylor). As I have stated before, I hope as soon as Parliamentary time is available to introduce a. Motor Vehicles Bill, which will, among other matters, provide additional powers for dealing with dangerous driving.
§ Colonel DAYWill that Bill also include the speed limit?
§ Mr. R. MORRISONCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether his answer definitely means that the Bill will not be proceeded with this Session?
§ Colonel ASHLEYNothing is certain in this world, but it looks rather unlikely.
