§ Sir W. DAVISONasked the Minister of Transport, whether he has received a communication from residents in St. Albans Road, Kensington, drawing his attention to the fact that large and heavy road coaches plying between Victoria 931W Station and Aldershot have recently adopted as their route to and from London the narrow and congested streets leading from Kensington Square through St. Albans Road and Victoria Grove to Queen's Gate, whereby serious danger is being caused to residents and the public generally by the use of such streets by unsuitable traffic; and what action he is taking in the matter?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI have received a petition from residents in St. Albans Road, Kensington, and adjoining thoroughfares in regard to this matter asking me to prohibit the use of these roads by motor coaches under Section 7 of the London Traffic Act, 1924. In reply I have pointed out that my powers under this section relate only to omnibuses which are licensed to ply for hire in the Metropolitan Police District, and that it appears that the vehicles in question are not so licensed. I understand that the attention of the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis has been called to the complaint.
