HC Deb 07 February 1940 vol 357 c239W
Sir W. Brass

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the heavy penalties under the Defence of the Realm Act which might be imposed on drivers who inadvertently exceed 20 miles an hour in a built-up area during the hours of darkness, he will consider giving instructions for all 30 miles an hour speed limit signs at the entrances to built-up areas to be illuminated as unilluminated lamps and telegraph poles with lamps extinguished are difficult to see in the dark?

Captain Wallace

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer I gave to a similar Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Coventry (Captain Strickland) on 31st January.
