§ 106. Sir F. FLANNERYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the number of medical men who declare their inability to visit patients in the country districts after dark in consequence of the new lighting regulations; and whether some relaxation in those regulations can be allowed to medical men upon professional journeys either by special permits to be issued by the local magistrates upon application or otherwise?
Mr. SAMUELA few representations to this effect, which arose for the most part from misunderstanding of the Order, were received when the Order first came into force. I believe medical men generally 1366 have now found they are able to obtain a sufficient light for driving, and no special relaxation, therefore, appears to be necessary.
§ Sir F. FLANNERYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in some districts medical men are refusing to attend people at night on the ground that they cannot safely motor along the roads?
