§ 32. Colonel Sir JAMES REYNOLDSasked the Home Secretary if he will state the number of children killed and the number injured in street accidents in England and Wales during 1931; in how 1259 many cases was a motor vehicle concerned; and in how many cases was the child on a footpath or entering or leaving school premises, respectively?
§ Sir H. SAMUELI regret that such figures are not available.
§ Sir REYNOLDSIn view of the number of accidents that take place at school gates, will some consideration be given to the idea of putting barriers between the school and the actual road on which the children debouch?
§ Sir H. SAMUELThat is sometimes done. I am not sure that it relates to my Department, but I will consider the suggestion.
§ Mr. KIRKWOODMay I suggest that the example of Glasgow might be followed, where a policeman is stationed at the school.
