HC Deb 24 March 1930 vol 237 c64W
Mr. NAYLOR

asked the Minister of Transport if he is able to state the result of using the special experimental road surface in New Bridge Street, London, E.C.; and whether the tests imposed have been satisfactory in regard to the prevention of side-slip and skidding of motor vehicles?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The rubber pavement referred to was laid in October, 1926. Fairly extensive repairs have been found necessary; but sufficient time has not elapsed to enable a definite conclusion to be drawn as to its durability. No special tests have been made with regard to side-ship or skidding.
