§ 79. Mr. VINCENT KENNEDYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider the advisability of having Section 78, c. 50, of 5 and 6 Will. IV., strictly enforced, or at any rate the proviso in the said Section compelling wagons, carts, or other carriages, or horses, mules, or other beasts of burden to keep on the left or near side of the road for the purpose of allowing the free and uninterrupted passage of persons, carts, carriages, etc.?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe police are instructed to enforce, and do as a rule successfully enforce, the Section in question, though it is necessarily subject to certain exceptions due to the presence of tramcars on single lines, of waiting vehicles at the side of the road, and other causes. The London County Council have now under consideration a by-law requiring slow-moving vehicles in the principal streets to keep close to the kerb on the left, and if this by-law is adopted, it will, I hope, be of some assistance in this matter.
