HC Deb 17 May 1909 vol 5 cc180-1W
Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Home Secretary whether he has previously stated that, in cases where applications are made to the Commissioner of Police to approve the exhibition of notices inside and outside cars, no reasonable request is refused; if several applications have since been made, but the approval of the Commissioner of Police has been withheld; and, if so, can he state why they were considered unreasonable?

Mr. GLADSTONE

The statement in the answer which I gave on 14th December last to the hon. Member for Hoxton related to printed notices in metropolitan stage carriages of matters affecting the public in relation to traffic working. The Commissioner of Police informs me that, so far as he is aware, no application to exhibit notices relating to traffic arrangements, or other matters for the public benefit, has been refused.
