HC Deb 27 July 1927 vol 209 c1262W
Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Home Secretary whether, having regard to the many accidents occuring at the junction of High Road, Broad Lane, and West Green Road, Tottenham, he will arrange for a constable to be placed on traffic duty at this point?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I understand that a number of accidents have occurred, but that it is doubtful whether they could have been prevented if a constable had been present. The Commissioner of Police is not satisfied that the employment of a constable on permanent point duty would be justified, but he is considering the question of employing a constable at the point when traffic is particularly heavy, e.g., at week-ends and on bank holidays.
