§ Mr. GRANVILLEasked the Minister of Transport if passenger omnibuses are compelled to carry any appliances, such as a saw or jack, which would enable those in charge of the vehicle to extricate persons who have been run over?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThe existing law does not require the carrying on omnibuses of appliances such as those to which the hon. Member refers, and I am advised that equipment effective for the purpose would of necesity be very heavy and cumbersome. If the Road Traffic Bill now before Parliament is passed in its present form the provisions of Clause 61 would enable me to make regulations with regard to the carrying by motor omnibuses of such equipment as may be considered necessary in the interests of public safety.
