HC Deb 14 February 1961 vol 634 cc1226-7
20. Sir C. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that there is a general tendency to provide increasingly bright illumination at petrol filling stations, to the detriment of road safety; and what advice he has given to planning authorities about the type and intensity of lighting at existing filling stations, and the conditions, regarding the brightness of the lighting systems, to be attached to the granting of planning permission for the erection of new stations.

Mr. Galbraith

My right hon. Friend has had no representation along the lines suggested by my hon. Friend, but he is looking into the matter to see whether guidance to local authorities is necessary.
