HC Deb 11 December 1935 vol 307 c907
56. Mr. GUY

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the report of the departmental committee on street lighting; and whether he proposes to put its recommendations into effect?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on this subject on 9th December to the hon. Member for Henley (Sir G. Fox) of which I am sending him a copy.

Mr. GUY

If local authorities are prepared to carry out the recommendation will the right hon. Gentleman offer any hope of financial assistance out of the Road Fund?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

That is a hypothetical question. When the facts are ascertained will be the appropriate time for the Government to give a decision.
