HC Deb 20 June 1955 vol 542 c1032
56. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to lessen the dangers to spectators of motor racing.

55. Mr. Bowles

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps he is taking to secure greater safety in motor racing in this country.

The Joint Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir Hugh Lucas-Tooth)

I have been asked to reply, also to Question No. 55. I understand that the Royal Automobile Club, which controls motor racing in this country, has instituted a special review of the present arrangements in the light of the recent accident at Le Mans. The information at present before my right hon. and gallant Friend does not suggest that action is called for on his part.
