FATAL ACCIDENTS TO CYCLISTS (BEtinuH OFFICIAL wire LESS.) (Received March 1, 5.5 p.m.) RUGBY, February 28. Replying to a question in the House of Commons on the attitude of cyclists toward the restrictions imposed on their use of roads by the recent regulations, the Minister for Transport (Mr L. IJore-Belisha) said that nearly- one-fifth of those killed on the roads were cyclists. The increase m the number of cyclists killed in 1933, compared \vilh 1928, was 96 per cent., whereas the corresponding figure for pedestrians was only 8 per cent.
Cyclists constituted the major part or the .problem of road accidents. He was confident that the House would sustain him in taking all measures that might be practicable to circumscribe this peril, particularly when such measures added to the convenience of the cyclists themselves.
