HC Deb 27 March 1929 vol 226 c2407

Motion made, and Question proposed, That an Address be presented for a 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)."—[Sir V. Henderson.]

Mr. MACLEAN

May I ask the hon. and gallant Gentleman if since yesterday he has received any further information as to whether any distinction is going to be made in this Return with regard to Accidents caused by different, categories of vehicles? He said yesterday that he would like notice of the question that I put to him then, and I understood from him that 24 hours' notice would be sufficient?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Lieut.-Colonel Sir Vivian Henderson)

Yes, Sir; a distinction is made. The list of vehicles is divided up into motor omnibuses, electric trams, motor cycles with sidecars, motor cycles without sidecars, motor cycles with pillion riders, motor cycles without pillion riders, private cars, taxicabs, motor lorries, pedal cycles and horse-drawn vehicles.

Question put, and agreed to.
