HC Deb 07 April 1936 vol 310 c2628W
Mr. SALT

asked the Minister of Transport (1) whether, when formulating his policy for new road construction, he has included provision for adequately lighting them in accordance with the latest scientific development;

(2) whether, when he grants permission to construct new by-pass roads, he will ensure that suitable lighting is supplied such as has been found necessary on the Kingston by-pass road and thereby make them less liable to accident?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I take every opportunity of impressing upon local authorities the importance of ensuring that roads are adequately lighted. I have, however, no power to require this.
