§ 25. Captain Corfieldasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether his attention has been drawn to a case in which a woman has been killed as a result of a blow from a bottle thrown from a passing motor coach; and whether he will introduce regulations making it an offence to throw bottles and other refuse from the windows of vehicles, and making it obligatory for the proprietors of motor coach companies to provide inside the vehicles suitable litter bins together with notices warning the passengers of the consequences of throwing litter through the windows.
§ Mr. MolsonIt is already an offence under the Regulations governing the conduct of passengers in public service vehicles to throw bottles or litter out of the vehicle. The provision of litter bins and warning notices is a matter best left to the discretion of operators.
