HC Deb 18 November 1936 vol 317 c1800W
Mr. LOVAT-FRASER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that Salford temporarily closes 170 streets to vehicular traffic for the benefit of the children; that the area is one of the most densely populated in the country, with 36,000 school children; that Salford recently completed a year without a single fatal accident to a child; and whether he will endeavour to promote the practice of periodically closing streets to vehicular traffic for the benefit of the children?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir, and I have informed local authorities that I am ready to consider confirmation of Orders having this effect.
