§ 104. Mr. de Freitasasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the sounding of motor car horns has been forbidden in Paris with the result that not only has there been greater peace and quiet in the city but there has been a substantial reduction in the number of accidents; and whether he will ask the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police to study the working of these regulations.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeYes. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis has studied the working of these regulations but does not consider that in London there is any abuse of motor horns sufficient to justify him in recommending a corresponding prohibition. It is already an offence in this country to sound a horn on a stationary vehicle or in a built-up area between 11.30 p.m. and 7 a.m.
