§ Mr. Holmanasked the Minister of Transport when he proposes to introduce new Regulations to regulate the speed of trolley-buses; and, in particular, if he will limit their speed to bring it in conformity with that of other public-service vehicles.
§ Mr. MaclayMy Department is preparing, in consultation with the interests concerned, a revised model code of safety provisions for trolley-buses which will form the basis of new Regulations for a number of individual trolley-bus undertakings. These Regulations will replace those already in force and in cases where Regulations have not yet been made will incorporate the existing speed restrictions subject to which the routes concerned have been authorised. These restrictions vary from 5 m.p.h. to 25 m.p.h. on specified lengths of road and impose a 30 m.p.h. limit outside those lengths. The new Regulations will be made as soon as possible.
