HC Deb 16 July 1936 vol 314 c2255W
Sir G. MITCHESON

asked the Minister of Transport (1) whether he can furnish an estimate of the percentage of the length of the trunk roads which are already illuminated at night;

(2) whether in the Bill he is introducing in the autumn to take over the responsibility for the trunk roads he intends to include provisions to provide for the lighting of those roads throughout their length;

(3) whether he can furnish an estimate as to the proportion of the length of the trunk roads in respect of which there are at present available neither gas nor electricity mains?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on Thursday last to a similar question on this subject by the hon. Member for Yardley (Mr. Salt), to which I can at present add no further information.
