HC Deb 23 October 1941 vol 374 c1924W
Sir A. Gridley

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will be prepared to introduce an order under the Defence of the Realm Regulations making it obligatory for all pedestrians to wear a white armlet whenever they are on public paths or roadways during the hours of black-out, having regard to the continuance of the grave death-roll on the roads?

Colonel Llewellin

No, Sir. Such a regulation would, I am afraid, present insuperable difficulties of enforcement.
