§ 88. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Transport if he will cancel the instructions given to local authorities to cease the installation of new, and the replacement of worn, "cats' eyes"; and if he is aware that, particularly in the country areas of Yorkshire, they have been of great value both to pedestrians and motorists in avoiding accidents, particularly in dark and foggy weather.
§ Mr. CallaghanThere has been some misunderstanding about this matter. My right hon. Friend is keen to encourage the use of reflecting studs in country areas, where they are extremely valuable, but as their reflection depends on the use of headlamps he is advised that they are of little use in urban areas with adequate street-lighting.
