HC Deb 03 September 1909 vol 10 cc877-8W
Mr. RAWLINSON

asked the Home Secretary whether it is intended to make a regulation that taximeter cabs should be fitted with a speed alarm, indicating by means of a gong or otherwise that the speed limit is being exceeded; and, if so, when such regulation is to come into force?

Mr. GLADSTONE

Under an arrangement made with certain motor-cab proprietors, a number of speed alarms are to be fitted to motor-cabs with a view to testing the reliability, accuracy, and durability of these instruments. A few have already been put on, and others will probably be fitted soon. The question of a regulation will be further considered when the result of this trial is known.
