38. Mr. David Adamsasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether, in view of the greater visibility, particularly in black-out periods, and economy in the maintenance of metal studs over white-painted traffic lines, it is intended to recommend the gradual use of these throughout the country?
§ Colonel LlewellinHighway authorities are encouraged to make use of metal studs with reflecting lenses, and other permanent means of marking traffic lines in lieu of white paint, where materials are available and the additional cost can be justified.
Mr. AdamsIs the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that Nottingham recently adopted metal studs as against white lines?
§ Colonel LlewellinI do not know the particular instance, but I will look into it.
