HC Deb 18 March 1935 vol 299 c825
63. Sir G. FOX

asked the Home Secretary how many summonses have been issued against pedestrians for loitering on pedestrian crossing-places in the London area since the latter were instituted?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No summonses have been issued against pedestrians for remaining on pedestrian crossing-places longer than necessary for the purpose of crossing the road with reasonable dispatch. Up to the end of February, however, 11,210 verbal warnings were given in this connection.

Sir G. FOX

Does this not show that the Government intend only to prosecute motorists and not pedestrians?
