HC Deb 15 February 1945 vol 408 cc412-3W
Sir G. Jeffreys

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport, whether he is aware that motor vehicles with left-hand drive have no means of signalling when they are about to turn to the right; and whether he will cause all such vehicles to be fitted with an arm signal, which the driver could operate and so warn following vehicles of his intention to turn.

Mr. Noel-Baker

I regret that the present shortage of labour and materials would make it impracticable to carry out my hon. and gallant Friend's proposal at present, but I am glad to assure him that it will be fully considered by the Road Safety Committee.
