HC Deb 26 March 1929 vol 226 c2227

The following Notice of Motion stood upon the Order Paper in the name of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Vivian HENDERSON: Address for Return showing the number of Accidents resulting in death or personal injury known by the police to have been caused by vehicles and horses in streets, roads, or public places, and the number of persons killed or injured by such Accidents in Great Britain during the year ended the 31st day of December, 1928 (in continuation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 57, of Session 1928).

Mr. CRAWFURD

May I make a suggestion at this stage for the extension of this Return in one particular, namely, that there should be added in every case an indication as to whether the driver of the vehicle or of the horse is to blame for the accident, or whether the blame is not attached to the driver?

Mr. SPEAKER

I think if the hon. Member wishes to do that he had better put a Motion down on the Order Paper.

Mr. MACLEAN

Will the accidents that result from the different vehicles be shown in this Return, and will a distinction be drawn between accidents due to mechanically-propelled vehicles and horse-drawn vehicles?

Sir V. HENDERSON

I cannot answer that question without notice.

Mr. MACLEAN

Can this Return be delayed in order to give hon. Members more notice? I object to this Motion.

Sir V. HENDERSON

Very well. I will put the Motion down again To-morrow.
