HC Deb 07 May 1930 vol 238 c966
67. Mr. McSHANE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the number of accidents that have taken place during the past two years and the number of people injured, due to motor traffic, on the Walsall-Green Lane-Bloxwich road?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)

Thirty-four accidents are recorded by the police. Fourteen persons were injured, including two fatally injured.

Mr. McSHANE

Is my hon. Friend aware that this road is in the most densely populated part of the town, and that there has recently been canalised into it heavy traffic, which makes it a real menace to hundreds of children playing in that street, who have no playground whatever of any kind; and will he look into the matter?

Mr. SHORT

Certainly.
