§ Mr. CLARRYasked the Minister of Transport if he has favourably considered the question of chars-a-banc, and similar vehicles carrying more than six passengers, being compelled to carry first-aid ambulance outfits; and, if so, what steps he proposes taking to ensure this measure of protection to the road-travelling public?
§ Colonel ASHLEYWhile I view with considerable satisfaction the action of many operators of public service vehicles in equipping their vehicles with first-aid outfits and appliances, and in training their employés in their use, I do not think it a practicable suggestion that the provision of such equipment should be made compulsory, nor, indeed, have I at the present time any powers in the matter.
