§ Mr. Perkinsasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will consider further improvement of the lighting on long-distance inland trains?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerImprovements in train lighting were authorised in the early part of this year and in most of the railway passenger coaches now in use these improvements have been carried out. I regret that I cannot encourage my hon. Friend to hope for further improvements at present, not only for security reasons, but because of the shortage of the labour and material which would be required.
