§ 58. Mr. RAMSDENasked the Minister of Transport, whether, in view of the numerous accidents to motor coaches and other similar vehicles, he is prepared to take such steps as may be necessary to make it compulsory that a first-aid outfit be carried on all such vehicles?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Colonel Ashley)While I view with considerable satisfaction the action of many operators of public service vehicles in equipping their vehicles with first-aid outfits and appliances, and in training their employés in their use, I do not think it would be reasonable to make the provision of such equipment compulsory; nor, indeed, have I at the present time any powers in the matter.
§ Colonel ASHLEYI have no power to take action.
