HC Deb 23 January 1913 vol 47 cc638-9W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intends to take any further measures to protect pedestrians from the dangers arising out of the speed permitted to motor omnibuses and taxi-cabs; and whether he can state the number of deaths and accidents which have occurred from those vehicles during the year 1912?

Mr. McKENNA

A Select Committee is considering this question, and I cannot take any new measures until I know the result of their inquiries. With regard to the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for Bedford on 6th January.
