§ Sir R. NEWMANasked the President of the Board of Education whether his 42W attention has been directed to those portions of the Report of the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee on Street Accidents in Greater London, which refer to the remarkable decrease in the percentage of fatal street accidents amongst children in the Metropolis, credit for which is given to the educative work of teachers and education authorities in co-operation with the National Safety-First Association; and whether, in view of the constant increase in the volume of traffic and the number of street accidents, he will draw the attention of all education authorities to the importance of ensuring that similar work be undertaken throughout the country and to the assistance afforded by the National Safety-First Association?
§ Lord E. PERCYMy right hon. Friend has seen the Report referred to, and he has observed with great satisfaction the successful results of the educative work undertaken by local authorities and teachers in co-operation with the National Safety-First Association. As regards the second part of the question, my right hon. Friend thinks that my hon. Friend's suggestion will be met if he circulates this question and answer to all local education authorities in England and Wales.
