§ Major GLYNasked the Home Secretary if, in view of the excessive speed and noise from the engine exhaust of many private cars and delivery vans that use such thoroughfares as Queen's Gate and Cromwell Road, where, though these are cross roads, the main road is long and straight, he will give instructions to have this practice put under control?
§ Mr. CLYNESIt is already the practice of the police to pay special attention to these thoroughfares with a view to detecting offences, and I may mention that during the six months ended 30th June last, 31 cases of ineffective silencing and of offences against the Motor Cars (Excessive Noise) Regulations, 1929, were reported from the two thoroughfares in question.
