HC Deb 16 November 1939 vol 353 c846W
Brigadier-General Spears

asked the Home Secretary whether he will request the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to-instruct police on patrol duty at night to keep a special watch on the lighting of street refuges and islands, and to see that the lights on these are re-lighted if they become extinguished, in view of the great danger of unlighted refuges in the black-out?

Sir J. Anderson

The Commissioner of Police informs me that the Metropolitan Police already have instructions to this effect.
