I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that some, if not all, of the motor omnibuses in London do their journeys as often as possible in the day and not a specified number of times; that conductors and drivers are paid on their drawings; that the system leads to loss of life and limb; and if he will take steps to alter it.

I am given to understand that motor omnibuses in London have to run according to time tables. I am not aware that the wages of drivers or conductors are based on the earnings of the vehicles.
