§ 61. Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, how long it is proposed to continue the trial of the miniature lighthouses with blinking red lights in the roadway in front of Buckingham Palace; if he is aware that the said lighthouses are filled with highly compressed gas; and, in view of the serious consequences which would in all probability occur in the event of a vehicle colliding with one of the lighthouses, will he take steps to have these obstructions removed at an early date?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON (on, behalf of the First Commissioner of Works)It is proposed to remove these flashing lights within the next few weeks and to replace them by lamps of a non-flashing type.
§ Sir W. DAVISONCan the hon. Member tell me whether any significance is to be attached to the fact that these lights blinked green during the late Administration, and that since the present Government came into power they have blinked red?
§ Captain BRASSCould the hon. Member say whether the non-flashing lamps will remain alight during the day time as the present ones do, or only be illuminated at night?
