Mr. R. S. YOUNGasked the Home Secretary whether a recent fatal accident following a collision between a motor van and the cabmen's shelter in Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea, has been reported to the police; whether the removal of this rank and shelter to a less dangerous spot had been recommended on previous occasions by the police; and by whose decision the rank and shelter are retained in their present position?
§ Mr. CLYNESYes, Sir. This accident was duly reported. The appointment of standings and their cancellation are matters for the Commissioner of Police, who has now decided to cancel this particular standing and appoint another elsewhere.
