HC Deb 27 February 1973 vol 851 cc341-2W
Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the contributions which can be made to improved road safety by the painting of public service vehicles in bright colours; what steps have been taken in this respect; and with what results.

Mr. Peyton

I have no evidence that the painting of vehicles in bright colours would make a significant contribution to improved road safety; but I am considering the question in relation to vehicles generally, rather than to public service vehicles in particular.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The lowest-paid general service grade in the non-industrial Civil Service is that of full-time female cleaner.
