Lighting-up Time Arrangements

HC Deb 06 June 1956 vol 553 c1059

14. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will now introduce legislation to make lighting-up time in the summer months half-an-hour after sunset.

Mr. Watkinson

I am considering making provision in the Road Traffic Bill now before Parliament for some change in the present lighting-up time arrangements.

Mr. Gresham Cooke

Will my right hon. Friend impress on the noble Lord in charge of the Road Traffic Bill in the House of Lords the importance of getting, if possible, an Amendment into the Bill about lighting-up time?

Mr. Watkinson

That is what I have said I am considering.
