HC Deb 25 June 1930 vol 240 cc1180-1W
Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of the increase in the number of fatal accidents that have taken place in London during the previous 12 months, what action his Department or the London Traffic Advisory Committee are taking for the purpose of preventing the increase of such accidents in the future; and has he received any recent reports from the London Traffic Advisory Committee on the subject?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

My Department, as well as the London Traffic Advisory Committee, are continuously engaged on the consideration of proposals designed to improve the condition of the streets in London from the point of view of safety, and I am always prepared to consider any such proposals which may be submitted by the local authorities. Two reports of the committee were issued last year on this subject, and were discussed with representatives of all local authorities in the area and with the associations and societies interested. I hope to be in a position to publish the conclusions reached at that conference at an early date.
