HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1130W
Sir A. BENNETT

asked the Minister of Transport whether the lighting of arterial Toads is a duty incumbent upon anyone and, if so, upon whom; and whether, in view of the increase of traffic on these thoroughfares, he proposes to investigate the allocation of financial responsibility?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The lighting of arterial roads is the responsibility of the local authority concerned. I have no powers to make contributions from the Road Fund towards the cost of street lighting.
