HC Deb 04 February 1943 vol 386 c1044
56. Sir L. Lyle

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a statement was issued from his Department on 19th January, in connection with improved lighting in trains, tending to lead the public to believe improved lighting would be available before long in the majority of trains; and as, in view of the difficulties of obtaining material and labour it will take a long time before improved lighting can be fitted in the majority of passenger rolling stock, he will make a further statement on the subject?

Mr. H. Morrison

The statement to which my hon. Friend refers gave the specific warning "that some time must elapse before the full effect of the changes becomes operative." As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given him yesterday by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport.
