§ 16. Mr. William Shepherdasked the Minister of War Transport if he is aware of the poor lighting on the Great West Road; and what steps he intends to take to remedy this.
§ The Minister of War Transport (Mr. Barnes)Yes, Sir. The reason is the need for fuel economy, but I will consider what steps can be taken to improve the present conditions.
§ Mr. BowlesWhether it is a question of economy or not, will my right hon. Friend arrange that streets are equidistantly lighted, since at present there are sometimes three lights out and one on?
§ Mr. BarnesThese matters are very difficult to enforce at the present time, but I will bear that suggestion in mind.
