§ Mr. COMYNS-CARRasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that omnibuses, not belonging to the London General Omnibus Company, were, on 2337W Whit Monday, turned back by the police at Wembley some distance away from the exhibition gates, while those belonging to that company were allowed to drive up to them; whether any such regulation is generally enforced, or was specially enforced on that day, and, in either case, by whose authority; and on what ground this discrimination is made?
Mr. HENDERSONThe police did not turn back any omnibuses on Whit Monday or upon any other day. In order to prevent obstruction the Commissioner has directed that no omnibus is to stop in Wembley Hill Road or in Forty Lane to take up or set down passengers, and these Regulations are enforced. There has been no discrimination by the police, but the London General Omnibus Company has leased a private motor park, and the police have no power to grant access to that park by other omnibus concerns.
