HC Deb 13 February 1940 vol 357 cc572-3
55. Sir Gifford Fox

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of deaths that have been caused to members of the Forces who have been run into by traffic while walking along the main roads, either in formed bodies or individually, at night during the black-out?

Mr. Stanley

I regret that the information asked for is not readily available.

Sir G. Fox

Is my right hon. Friend aware that some of these deaths have been caused by troops walking in groups on both sides of the main roads, when entering or leaving camps?

Mr. Stanley

I will certainly see that instructions are issued on that point.
