§ Mr. Brookeasked the Home Secretary whether he will give further consideration to the possibility of helping trade by allowing, under proper conditions, a small suitably-darkened lamp in shop windows between sunset and the legal closing hour as an indication that the shop is open for business?
§ Sir J. AndersonI propose to permit the use of a suitably illuminated sign for shop windows and doors. The details of the proposed relaxation are at present under discussion with representatives of the principal associations of shopkeepers, and I hope to be able to make an announcement shortly.
§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the resolution of the Scottish Road Passenger Transport Association dealing with the lighting of motor vehicles sent him on 2lst October, 1939; and whether he has any statement to make thereon?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe points raised in the resolution from the Scottish Road Passenger Transport Association were discussed with a deputation representing the operators of public service vehicles48W and their employes which I received last week. I have undertaken to give consideration to the points raised by the deputation.
