§ 92. Captain Sir WILLIAM BRASSasked the Minister of Transport whether any map is kept in his Department showing the areas where the largest number of motor accidents occur, with a view to special steps being taken to render those areas less dangerous in the future?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONA map relating to the central portion of the London Traffic area, and showing the sites of all fatal street accidents during the years 1920 to 1928 inclusive, is included 2366 as an appendix to the second report of the London Traffic Advisory Committee on Street Accidents in Greater London, issued in July, 1929, as a Stationery Office publication.
§ Sir W. BRASSWould the Minister of Transport consider the advisability of having such a map not only of the London area, but of the whole country?
§ Mr. MORRISONI will consider that, but I am afraid it would involve an increase in the staff of the Ministry of Transport, and I think this work would be better done and ought to be done by the local authority.
§ Sir W. BRASSWould such a map not give the right hon. Gentleman an indication of the black spots and the danger spots in the country?
§ Mr. MORRISONI quite agree, but, on the other hand, if we increase the staff for that purpose, I imagine we should be severely criticised by hon. Members opposite.
