HC Deb 19 April 1939 vol 346 cc350-1
21. Mr. Lyons

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider the establishment of a road safety research board?

Mr. Burgin

Yes, Sir. I am considering this suggestion among the other recommendations of the report of the Select Committee appointed in another place to consider measures for the reduction of road accidents.

Mr. Lyons

In view of the representations which have been made as to the delay in dealing with other recommendations, will my right hon. Friend expedite the carrying out of this important recommendation?

Mr. Burgin

I prefer to say that I will consider it.

Mr. Leach

If the right hon. Gentleman considers setting up this proposed safety board, will he also consider keeping motorists off representation?
