§ Sir JOHN BARRANasked the Home Secretary whether he has yet received an answer from the London County Council to his communication on the subject of slow-moving vehicles in the streets of the Metropolis; and whether, in view of the definite recommendation made for the control of such vehicles by the Royal Commission as far back as 1905, of the increase of pressure on the streets caused by the development of motor traffic since that date, and of the probable further increase of congestion in this coming summer, he will use the full and active influence of the Home Office in the direction of arming the police with the increased powers recommended in 1905?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI have not yet communicated with the London County Council in this matter, which is one that involves considerable difficulties, as the Royal Commission recognised and stated. But I have it under consideration, and will do anything that I properly can to promote this desirable reform.
