HC Deb 01 August 1923 vol 167 c1507W
Mr. TILLETT

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether he has had brought to his notice accidents arising as a result of drivers of commercial transport vehicles being exhausted by excessively long journeys; and whether he proposes to take any steps to control traffic of this character?

Colonel ASHLEY

I am aware that a few accidents have been attributed, whether correctly or not, to the cause indicated in the question. In view, however, of the nature of the employment, I think great difficulties would arise in making effective Regulations.
