84. Miss Rathboneasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that on the Embankment, including Millbank and Grosvenor Road, the speed limit is habitually disregarded; and whether, in view of the difficulty experienced by pedestrians in crossing the road, he will take steps to have it more strictly enforced?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)The police are already taking active steps to check exceeding of the speed limit on the Embankment; and during 1937 over 1,000 persons were reported with a view to prosecution for exceeding the speed limit along this particular stretch of road.
§ Mr. DayIs it not preferable that the police should be stationed in the road so that motorists could see them?
