§ Mr. MARCHasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that all the national bodies representing local governments, as well as the Chief Constables' Association, have passed resolutions in favour of a change of the custom of the footpath to walk on the left as an important measure in reducing accidents to pedestrians; and whether having regard to a similar Resolution having been passed by a House of Commons Committee on traffic accidents in London, presided over by the late Mr. Kennedy Jones, M.P., and also by the Advisory Committee on London traffic, he will state if the Ministry of Transport is in favour of the change and will take any action thereon?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI understand that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport has promised that if the London Traffic Bill becomes law this matter will be referred to the Committee proposed to be set up under that Bill.
