§ 50. Sir W. BRASSasked the Minister of Transport whether, in order that passengers in public service vehicles may know at what speed the vehicle is travelling, he will consider making an order under the Road Traffic Act for all such vehicles to carry efficient speedometers with dials placed in such a position as to be plainly visible to the passengers?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI have no evidence of any general desire on the part of passengers in public service vehicles to know the precise speed of the vehicle in which they are travelling, and I am not satisfied that, on grounds of public safety, regulations for the purpose mentioned by the hon. Member are necessary.
§ Sir W. BRASSDoes the right hon. Gentleman not think that the result of putting speedometers in these vehicles would be to reduce the excessive speed of some of them?
