§ 7. Mr. ALBERYasked the Home Secretary whether he will issue instructions so that the Metropolitan police, whilst continuing their efforts to facilitate motor traffic in congested areas, shall not lose sight of the rights and needs of pedestrian traffic, especially, as regards the crossing of thoroughfares; and will he consider the issuing of instructions that wheeled traffic shall not be allowed to halt actually on those crossings indicated for pedestrian use?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSInstructions on both points are contained in the General Orders of the Metropolitan Police and have been reinforced from time to time by special memoranda. I think, too, that the instructions are generally observed.
