§ 42. Lieut.-Colonel THOMasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the motor omnibus and other motor traffic during the summer months on the Glasgow-Balloch road is of such a volume and nature as to constitute a grave danger to the public; and whether he proposes to take any steps to regulate this traffic by a system of licensing and control or otherwise so as to ensure the public safety?
§ Colonel ASHLEYMy attention had not previously been drawn to the volume of traffic on this particular road. So far as motor omnibus traffic is concerned, Part IV of the Draft Road Traffic Bill which I have recently circulated provides for a system of licensing and control of these vehicles throughout the country.
§ Mr. T. WILLIAMSWhen is the right hon. Gentleman likely to introduce that Bill?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI cannot say.
