HC Deb 30 June 1927 vol 208 cc542-3
3. Mr. LOOKER

asked the Home Secretary whether the attention of the police has been drawn to the excessive speed at which motor omnibuses pass down Ranelagh Gardens, Barnes, and to the damage to the houses on that route caused thereby; and will he take steps to see that the legal speed limit is observed?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that he has received complaints, though not recently, of damage done to houses in Ranelagh Gardens, and of excessive speed in that thoroughfare. The police are constantly on the alert to deal with excessive speed and convictions are from time to time obtained.

Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

Is it not true to say that if every driver drove as carefully as the drivers of the London omnibuses there would be a great diminution of accidents?
