§ Mr. Lyonsasked the Minister of Transport whether he can state the number of road accidents in the city and county of Leicester, respectively, for the six months ended 30th June, 1937, and corresponding figures for similar periods in 1935 and 1936?
§ Mr. BurginThe numbers of road accidents involving personal injury in the city and county of Leicester respectively during the six months ended 30th June in the years 1935, 1936 and 1937, were as follows:
service upon ambulance duties and similar work; that in a recent decision it was ruled that these men do not rank as professional firemen and are thus not covered by any pensions scheme, and that discontent has been caused by this ruling; and whether he can introduce legislation in the near future to right this grievance?
§ Mr. LloydI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend to a question by the hon. Member for North Tottenham (Mr. R. C. Morrison) on Thursday last.
