§ 41. Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the general installation of traffic-governing lights, any classes of the community, such as police and firemen, have the right, in case of an emergency, of ignoring them?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThere is no statutory exemption for any classes of the community from the provisions of the Road Traffic Act as to conforming to the indication given by a traffic sign, but I am not aware of any difficulty arising with regard to the passage of police and of firemen in cases of emergency, and I do not think any special provision is necessary.
