Major THOMASasked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider issuing instructions that all public motor and electric passenger vehicles shall be fitted with some form of door or gate which shall only be opened at authorised stopping places, in order to prevent the practice of mounting and descending from these vehicles while in motion?
§ Mr. PARKINSONI think that the compulsory fitting of doors or gates to the vehicles mentioned by the hon. and gallant Member would tend to cause inconvenience and delay, and would not contribute appreciably to public safety.
