HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 cc2467-8
17. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now clarify the regulations about the use of pedestrian crossings at road junctions by pedestrians.

Mr. Barnes

I have considered the need for amending the pedestrian crossing places regulations in conjunction with the revision of policy in relation to the provision, siting and marking of crossings and I hope to make a statement in the near future.

Mr. Janner

In view of the serious misunderstandings that exist about the use of pedestrian crossings, if I put a Question down in a week's time will my right hon. Friend be able to give the regulations?

Mr. Barnes

I could not guarantee the period of a week, but I assure my hon. Friend that I am desperately anxious to get the largest measure of agreement on this and, as far as I can, to get the largest consensus of opinion in the House behind the new regulations.
