asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consult the Traffic Advisory Committee with a view to arranging for the tramway and omnibus authorities in London adopting the Parisian system, which enables passengers in the order of their arrival at busy stopping places to board tramcars and omnibuses by the use of numbered tickets fixed to lamp standards?

This question was considered some time ago and the conclusion was reached that the system referred to by my hon. Friend was not suitable for London, where the conditions of traffic differ widely from those which obtain in Paris.
