HC Deb 23 December 1964 vol 704 c295W
59. Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consult the police authorities about the practicability of introducing a system of conducting convoys for all vehicles using motorways in dense fog.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. This idea has been considered and is not practicable.

Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Transport if he will require that convoys of military vehicles should be placed under the control of civil police when using motorways in dense fog.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No, I see no need for special measures. Military convoys are subject to careful organisation and discipline under their own authorities and the civil police have the authority to control them in the same way as civilian traffic.
