asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that at the junction of Albany Road and Camberwell Road, S.E., several serious accidents, one of them of a fatal nature, have recently occurred; that near this spot is a school for blind children who have to board tramcars at this junction; and will he, in view of these circumstances, arrange for the provision of a police point at this spot?

The accident statistics at this spot show that, having regard to the amount of traffic, there is no exceptional element of danger. Arrangements are already in force for a police officer to assist the children entering and leaving the Boyson Road school for the blind. In addition to this, a police constable from a neighbouring fixed point attends at 8.30 a.m. and assists all children who may arrive by tramcar and have to cross the road after alighting. No accident is recorded in which children attending school were concerned.

Would the right hon. Gentleman see whether some facilities could be given to the children leaving school; that a police officer will be there?

I will inquire, but I am assured by the police that every possible assistance that can be is given.

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise the difficulty about the blind children getting across the road?

There has never been an accident yet.
