Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether his attention has been drawn to a road accident at Aireborough, on 24th October, when a public vehicle was destroyed and five lives lost; and whether inquiries will be made into the cause of the accident and suitable regulations enforced which may help to prevent the occurrence of such tragedies?
§ Colonel LlewellinYes, Sir, I have read the police report and a report by the certifying officer on this accident. I do not consider that further inquiry is called for, for there is one feature of the accident which is happily unusual, and I am considering if there are any steps which could be taken to reduce the risk of its recurrence.
