HC Deb 01 November 1937 vol 328 cc558-9W
Sir W. Brass

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the recent Appeal Court decision in connection with the use of the stoplight at the rear of motor vehicles; and whether, in view of this decision, he will consider an early alteration of the law on this point?

Mr. Burgin

The House will appreciate the difficulty of dealing by way of question and answer with three detailed judgments of the Court of Appeal. I am, however, advised that the decision of the Court of Appeal, to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers, does not mean that signals given by stop-lights may be disregarded. I see no reason at present to consider an alteration of the law.
