§ Lord APSLEYasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that tramcars stopping to pick up or put down passengers in congested thoroughfares give no signal of their intention, thereby causing danger to following motor traffic; and whether he will circularise local authorities and tramway undertakings to the effect that all tramcars should be compelled to show a red light at the rear when they are about to stop and a green one when they are about to move on?
§ Mr. PYBUSIlluminated warning signals are already in use on certain tramcars in London and elsewhere and I am at present carefully watching the result of these exepriments. I do not consider that the use of such signals should be made compulsory at present, and I should not favour the use of a green light when a tramcar is about to start.
