HC Deb 26 November 1936 vol 318 c538
62. Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKE

asked the Minister of Transport whether, to prevent motor accidents and to help motorists and other road users to drive with more safety, he will take steps to have all roads marked with white lines or spots?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Captain Austin Hudson)

Yes, Sir. My right hon. Friend exercises his influence in all appropriate cases to this end.

Captain STRICKLAND

Captain HUDSON
