HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 c2050W
Major Symonds

asked the Secretary of State for War by whom, and with what legal authority, instructions were issued to drivers of Army convoys to ignore traffic signals, and to dispatch riders to see such convoys through light-controlled crossings irrespective of the lights.

Mr. Lawson

Under general instructions issued in 1942, and periodically brought to the notice of all concerned, military drivers must at all times conform to normal traffic signals and road signs. If my hon. and gallant Friend is referring to the occurrence at Cambridge on 22nd October, I can only say that I am awaiting the results of the inquiry.
