asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment the number of fatal accidents to children, due to motor traffic, since the Rout Traffic Act came into operation and the speed limit was removed?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Oliver Stanley)

During the period let January, 1931, to 30th September, 1932, 391 person aged 15 or less were killed in the Metropolitan Police District and City of London in accidents attributed to motor vehicles, including tramcars. I regret that the corresponding figure for the rest of the country is not available.
