103. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Transport what remedies he proposes to introduce in connection with crowd control to safeguard the public against accidents at railway termini while attending sporting events and traffic congestion on the roads throughout the holiday season.
§ Mr. BarnesHaving regard to the customary co-operation of the police with the railway authorities, I have no reason to expect any difficulties in connection with the control at railway termini of crowds travelling to sporting events. As far as their resources permit, the police will take the necessary steps to promote the free and safe flow of traffic on the roads during the holiday season. In addition, I confidently rely upon the good sense and courtesy of all road users.
Mr. De la BèreCannot the Minister do something to impress upon the public the great benefit of the wide open spaces and breezy uplands? Towns are very dangerous, and it is much better to get out into the country air.
