HC Deb 26 March 1935 vol 299 cc1731-2
28. Mr. TINKER (for Mr. PARKINSON)

asked the Home Secretary whether any accidents have occurred at crossings in Trafalgar Square since the erection of the new automatic signals for pedestrians; and, if so, the nature of them?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Signal indications to pedestrians were brought into use in connection with the automatic traffic signals at the north-east corner of Trafalgar Square on the 26th February last. I am informed by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that during the time they have been in operation, no accidents have occurred on the crossings at which they are installed.
