§ Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Transport whether he is prepared to pay or contribute towards the payment by a London local authority for experiments in the lighting of beacons or other 1594W signs at selected pedestrian crossings in central parts of London on some system whereby a light, whether automatic in its operation or controlled by the traffic, will give warning to drivers of the intention of pedestrians to use the crossing and assist in ensuring their safety when so doing?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI am always prepared to consider any proposals which local authorities may desire to make to me for the illumination of beacons which are not reasonably visible at night. I am also prepared to consider proposals from the local authorities concerned for the erection of pedestrian operated light signals at crossings where such signals would be justified.
