§ Mr. Perkinsasked the Minister of Transport whether he will state the total number of motorists convicted in 1938 for disobeying the "Halt" sign near the police station at Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire; how many of these failed to see the "Halt" sign; and whether the word Halt is written on the road?
§ Sir S. HoareI have been asked to reply. I am informed that since 1st3114W January, 1938, 35 motorists have been convicted for disobeying the "Halt" sign in question. Eighteen of them, when stopped by the police, stated they had failed to see the sign. The word "Halt" is not written on the road but I am informed that the position of the sign is such that it should be seen by motorists approaching it.
