§ 52. Mr. HALESasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the number of motoring accidents attended by loss of life by fire; and whether he will issue regulations for fire extinguishers to be carried on all motor vehicles?
§ Mr. PYBUSRegulations have already been issued with regard to the carrying of fire extinguishers by public service vehicles. As at present advised, I am not prepared to make compulsory regulations in the case of commercial vehicles or private motor cars.
§ Mr. KIRKWOODWill the hon. Gentleman recommend motor car users to have the tank on the back of the motor car, instead of at the front, and then they would not require any extinguisher?
