§ Mr. Fyfeasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the report of the chief constable 3356W of Liverpool stating that, since certain roads in that city have been de-restricted, the number of accidents which had declined during a comparative period of restriction has increased by nearly 50 per cent.; and whether he will give full consideration to the advisability of using his powers under Section 1, Subsection (6), of the Road Traffic Act, 1934, and reimposing a speed limit?
§ Mr. BurginMy attention has not been drawn to the report to which my hon. Friend refers and no representations have been made to me by the council in the matter since the Order of 10th August, 1936. I shall, of course, be prepared to consider any representations that may be made by the responsible local authority.
