§ Mr. PYBUSasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the increasing amount of damage inflicted on 455W pedestrians by mud which is thrown up from the wheels of motor vehicles; and whether he will cause his Department to investigate devices intended for the protection of pedestrians from this nuisance, with a view to securing their general adoption in the event of a favourable decision by his experts?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI am not aware that the amount of damage inflicted by mud thrown up by motor vehicles is increasing. Technical developments are closely followed by my Department, but no "anti-splash" device has been brought to my notice which has been found sufficiently effective, under practical conditions, to justify me in recommending or enforcing the general adoption of such devices.
