§ 64. Mr. Kitsonasked the Minister of Transport if he is satisfied with the workings of the Local Government Act 1966, in particular the Section relating to street lighting; and, in view of the fact that in certain areas county councils have refused to assume lighting responsibility for these installations until such time as the highways are formally adopted so that street lighting has been temporarily cut off, if he will introduce amending legislation to improve this situation.
§ Mr. MarshI see no grounds for further legislation to limit local authorities in the exercise of their powers on street lighting.
