HC Deb 12 December 1935 vol 307 cc1140-1W
Sir J. NALL

asked the Minister of Transport whether it is still intended to take steps to limit the use of horse traffic in the chief provincial towns of the country; if so, by what means such limitation will be imposed; and whether, before action is taken, steps will be taken to consult the various interests concerned?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

No responsible local authority has so far submitted to me an order restricting the use of horse-drawn vehicles on any streets in their area. If I receive such an application, before confirming the order, I will, as is my practice, consider it on its merits and in the light of any objections which may be received.
