HC Deb 31 March 1913 vol 51 c50W
Mr. GLANVILLE

asked the Home Secretary, having regard to the practice of motor omnibus drivers to drive their omnibuses between the kerb and any tramcar which has stopped to take up or unload passengers, such practice being highly dangerous to the travelling public, if he will take steps to prevent any motor omnibus driver driving his omnibus between the kerb on the near side of the road and any stopped or stopping tramcar on the near side; if he will issue an Order preventing any motor omnibus from stopping within ten feet of any fixed tramcar stopping place, and that the motor omnibus must stop behind such fixed stopping place; and will he deal with this question without awaiting any report on the question of London traffic?

Mr. McKENNA

The points mentioned involve great difficulties, and very various views are held as to what are the safest arrangements; but the whole subject of fixing stopping points for motor omnibuses and tramcars is receiving the close attention of the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, and he hopes, in consultation with those concerned, to determine stopping points which will prove satisfactory from the point of view of public safety and convenience.
