HC Deb 15 November 1944 vol 404 c1955
43. Sir Stanley Reed

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will concert, with the L.P.T.B., measures to improve the lighting at the principle tube stations.

Mr. Noel-Baker

In order to save fuel, the lighting of tube stations has been reduced, but I hope my hon. Friend will agree that, in general, it is not inadequate. If he will let me know of any stations at which, in his opinion, improvements are required, I will gladly consider the matter with the London Passenger Transport Board.

Sir S. Reed

Will my hon. Friend accompany me on a nice dark night to the entrances to some of the tube stations? He will then find out what death traps they are.
