§ 27. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Transport, whether he has received any Reports of the all-electric automatic traffic regulator that has been installed in Leeds and Edinburgh; whether his Reports show that this system of traffic regulation is successful; and whether it is intended to introduce similar systems in the London area?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The reports received indicate that a certain measure of success has been attained by the use of these automatic signals, but they are still in the experimental stage. The question of making experiments on similar lines in the Metropolitan area is already under consideration.
§ Mr. DAYWill the officers employed by the Minister of Transport keep their eyes on the signals in order to see whether the experiment is successful?
§ Colonel ASHLEYYes, Sir. They are constantly under observation.
