HC Deb 27 June 1934 vol 291 cc1112-3
18. Sir W. BRASS

asked the Minister of Transport whether his Department selected the particular positions for the experimental pedestrian crossing places recently introduced in the Metropolitan area, or whether the selection was made by each local authority in whose area the crossings were to be placed?

Mr. STANLEY

The positions for the experimental crossing places were selected by representatives of my Department and the Commissioner of Police in consultation with the local authorities concerned.

Sir W. BRASS

Had the people who actually selected the places had an opportunity of seeing the system in operation in Paris?

Mr. STANLEY

I am afraid that I must ask for notice of that question.
