HC Deb 02 July 1930 vol 240 cc1981-2W
Mr. VAUGHAN

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that on 25th June a motor car mounted the footway in Mount Street, London, crashed through the shop window and landed completely inside the shop; that the kerb was between two and three inches high above the roadway outside the premises; that the accident took place after the closing hour, which alone prevented probable loss of lives; and whether he will consider approving only those plans for new roads and alterations which show kerbs to be six inches high to prevent cars mounting footpaths under any circumstances?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I have no knowledge of the occurrence mentioned by my hon. Friend, but with respect to the height of kerbs I would refer him generally to the answer which I gave him on the 28th May last.
