§ Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the top of a Lancashire United double-decker motor omnibus hit a railway bridge at Winton; and if, in view of the fact that the upper deck of the omnibus was demolished and a number of passengers endangered, he will introduce regulations to compel all vehicles to have sufficient clearance to pass under all bridges on any routes they use?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI had not previously heard of this accident. Until I have received the report for which I have called, I am unable to express an opinion on the cause of the occurrence. I have no power to make regulations in the matter, but provision is contained in the Draft Road Traffic Bill for the licensing authority to impose conditions with regard to the types of omnibuses to be used on particular routes.
