HC Deb 09 April 1941 vol 370 c1577W
Mr. Lyons

asked the Minister of Transport"whether, in view of the need for labour in the agricultural war effort, he will consider the temporary cessation of work in re-whitening road lines in all but curves and specially dangerous places and the immediate transfer of such man-power to agricultural work?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

I am not prepared to suspend the work on maintenance of traffic lines, which I regard as essential in the interest of road safety, especially in view of traffic conditions in the black-out.
