HC Deb 18 December 1935 vol 307 c1765W
Mr. R. DAVIES

asked the Postmaster-General whether the practice of granting a monetary award to boy messenger cyclists who secure the safety-first certificate has had a beneficial effect; and, if so, in what respect?

Major TRYON

The practice in question was introduced soon after the employment of boy messenger motor-cyclists began, and no material exists for an estimate of its results. It is intended as a means of counteracting any tendency to youthful carelessness.
