HC Deb 15 December 1925 vol 189 cc1220-1W
Mr. W. BAKER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will re-examine the complaints which have been made respecting steam lorries; whether he is aware that, apart from the annoyance and danger caused by sparks and smoke, many serious accidents occur owing to the smoke chimney obstructing the driver's view; and whether he will consider a desirability of special steps to limit this type of tractor?

Colonel ASHLEY

I am aware of the objections to certain types of steam wagons to which the hon. Member refers, and the matter is at present under discussion with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
