HC Deb 17 April 1946 vol 421 cc463-4W
104. Mr. Messer

asked the Minister of Transport what proportion of accidents to schoolchildren are regarded as being attributed to the siting of schools; and if he is considering any steps to abolish blind corners in the vicinity of schools.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

I regret that the figures are not available. As far as blind corners are concerned it is for the appropriate highway authority to consider what is possible and desirable to increase the safety of traffic on the roads, and the proximity of a school is clearly one factor which will he taken into account.
