HC Deb 05 June 1957 vol 571 cc1231-2
29. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, in view of the different regulations between the lighting of stationary vehicles in secondary roads in the Metropolitan area and in other areas and the confusion arising from this, if he will confer with other appropriate Ministers with a view to securing co-ordination in respect of this matter and the display of prominent notices where co-ordination is not effected or the regulations are different from those in the Metropolitan area.

Mr. Watkinson

I propose shortly to discuss these regulations with the interests concerned.

Mr. Sorensen

Is the Minister aware of the fact that quite a number of anomalies already exist, and that many well-intentioned citizens who do not want to break the law have been fined 5s. and upwards because they were quite unaware of the fact that they were just outside the London area?

Mr. Watkinson

I am quite aware that there are many anomalies, and that is the purpose of having these discussions. I hope to try to get them sorted out.
