§ 38. Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the recommendation of the committee on road safety among school children that in densely populated areas, where there is a lack of playing spaces, selected streets should be closed to through vehicular traffic in order to provide a safe playground for children, and that legislation should be passed conferring the appropriate powers on local authorities generally, he proposes to take steps to carry out this recommendation?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI have informed highway authorities that I am prepared to consider applications for confirmation of orders restricting the use of streets for the purpose mentioned.
