HC Deb 28 October 1971 vol 823 cc405-6W
36. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department at what level of traffic the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis will reconsider his present decision not to provide a crossing patrol for children from the Ronald Ross Primary School at Beaumont Road, London, S.W.18.

Mr. Sharples

The Commissioner informs me that traffic density is one of a number of factors which are taken into account. It is therefore difficult to define the point at which an increase in density would call for the matter to be re-opened, but the increase would have to be considerable.
