§ 35. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware that the county council of Leicester is concerned that certain places in the city and county of Leicester have such high accident records that improvements to reduce them are urgent; and what steps he will take to make speedy improvements to these places, a list of which has been supplied to him by the hon. Member for Leicester, North-West.
§ Mr. MolsonI received the hon. Member's letter on Monday, and I am looking into the matter and will write to him.
§ Mr. JannerMay I ask the Parliamentary Secretary to keep in mind what he said a moment or two ago, that in cases where the initiative is taken by the locality he is prepared to deal with the matter, and will he see to it that these real danger spots, about which the Leicester and County Accident Prevention Council also communicated with his Department, are dealt with speedily, as a considerable number of accidents are taking place?
§ Mr. MolsonWe will gladly look into the matter, but 48 hours is not really sufficient time in which to do it.
