§ Mr. MOSLEYasked the Home Secretary whether he will make inquiries as to the action of the Commissioners of Police for the Metropolis in refusing the request of the Harrow-on-the-Hill Urban District Council to place a police constable on point duty at a dangerous corner at the junction of Peterborough Hill and Tyburn Lane; and whether he is aware that within 10 days recently three serious accidents have occurred at that corner?
§ Mr. SHORTTI have made inquiry of the Commissioner of Police, and am informed by him that the question of placing a constable on point duty at this corner has been considered by him, but he came to the conclusion that the volume of traffic was not sufficient to justify the continuous employment of a man on traffic duty, and that the case would be met by the erection of conspicuous warning notices and by removing some of the growth that at present obstructs the view at the corner. No accident at this point has come to the notice of the police since the 28th September last.
