HC Deb 21 July 1959 vol 609 c1049
19. Mr. Page

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works, as representing the Lord President of the Council, if he will arrange for the publication and distribution, in a simplified and readily understandable form, of the conclusion of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research resulting from the Department's investigation of overtaking by road vehicles.

Mr. H. Nicholls

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Page

Whilst thanking my hon. Friend for that helpful Answer, may I ask whether I am to understand that he proposes to make public the report of the Road Research Laboratory? Does he not think that general guidance on this subject would save a great number of accidents—guidance to the drivers of overtaking and approaching cars and of cars that are being overtaken?

Mr. Nicholls

Thought is being given to the best way of presenting it, but it will be done and I will see that a copy is sent to my hon. Friend.
