§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to varying interpretations of the statutory regulations which prescribe the minimum width of pedestrian crossings; whether he is aware that some highway authorities have measured the minimum width from the centre of the studs; and whether he will take steps to amend the law so as to remove doubt and ensure that authorities shall not have to incur the heavy cost of moving the studs a few inches in order that the minimum width may be measured between the studs?
§ Mr. Burgin:I am obliged to my hon. Friend. I already have under consideration the question of an amendment of the relevant regulations to deal with this matter.
