§ 52. Mr. Cassellsasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of a recent legal ruling to the effect that stop-lights on motor cars could not be recognised as legal warning unless accompanied by the appropriate hand signal; and if he is prepared to cause the Highway Code to be amended in accordance therewith.
The Minister of Transport (Mr. HoreBelisha)I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on Monday last to the hon. Member for Reigate (Mr. Touche). He will, I think, appreciate that no amendment to the Code is necessary.
§ 53. Mr. Cassellsasked the Minister of Transport whether he is prepared to advise that in future motor-cars be equipped with a green light at the front of the car, brake operated, in order that pedestrians be made aware as to whether an approaching motor is drawing up in order to give him the right of the road?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaNo, Sir. This might be confusing.
§ Mr. CassellsDoes not the right hon. Gentleman consider the suggestion that I make is a prudent one?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaNo, Sir. I would have answered differently if I did.
