§ Mr. Toucheasked the Minister of Transport whether any arrangements have been made to distinguish vehicles 623W engaged on essential defence services, so that such vehicles should not be unduly delayed by the military in the event of an air raid taking place at the time of an invasion?
§ Sir J. ReithDuring an air raid warning motor vehicles generally are allowed to proceed if the drivers have good reason for doing so. There is, therefore, no need for any distinguishing mark for vehicles engaged on essential services so far as air raids are concerned. Should it be necessary at any time to restrict traffic on roads required for military purposes arrangements have been made under which essential vehicles can be allowed to proceed.
