§ 88. Mr. ALPASS (for Mr. MILLS)asked the Minister of Transport if he is prepared to consider the inclusion of a rule in the proposed highway code that all tramcars, electric or steam, travelling upon a public highway, shall display a stop warning, similar to those in use on the London General Omnibus Company's omnibuses, together with some automatic sound warning to overtaking vehicles?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI do not think that I could appropriately include in the highway' code any rule which would purport to affect the construction or equipment of vehicles. I believe ray hon. Friend is mistaken in his statement with regard to the equipment of the omnibus referred to in his question.
§ 89. Mr. ALPASS (for Mr. MILLS)asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider including in the regulations under the Road Traffic Act the prohibition of vehicles overtaking a tramcar
§ when the tramcar is at a standstill provided that such tramcars are equipped with adequate warning signals of the stop?
§ Mr. MORRISONThe point raised in my hon. Friend's question has been fully discussed in connection with the subjects proposed to be covered by the Highway Code, and I have reached the conclusion that it is not desirable to include a requirement on the lines suggested in his question.
