§ 27. Mr. GUYasked the Minister of Transport what steps are taken to ensure that the Public Service Vehicle (Equipment and Use) Provisional Regulations (No. 2), 1931, providing for the carrying by public service vehicles of first-aid equipment of suitable design and construction, are being complied with?
§ Mr. PYBUSIn cases where first-aid equipment is required to be carried such equipment is examined when the vehicle is presented for licensing.
§ Mr. GUYIs the Minister aware that certain types of equipment carried by many public service vehicles are not of suitable quality, and will he consult with the British Medical Association on the subject?
§ Mr. PYBUSNo, Sir. The specification of the equipment to be carried was 1920 approved by the British Medical Association.
§ Mr. GUYThat is not a reply to my question, which was whether the equipment now carried complies with the regulations.
§ Mr. PYBUSThe specification on which the regulations were founded was drawn up after consultation with the British Medical Association, and I see no reason to take any action in the matter.
