Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Transport the number of traffic controllers employed by the London County Council on their tramway services who have met with accidents whilst engaged in their employment during the last 12 months; and whether the accidents have been caused by motor or other vehicles?

I am informed by the London County Council that during the 12 months ended 21st February last two tramway traffic regulators and two ticket inspectors in the employment of the Council were injured—in one case fatally. All these accidents were, I understand, caused by motor vehicles.
