HC Deb 16 June 1947 vol 438 c160W
15. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the desire of local authorities to know if a modification of the ban on street lighting is contemplated; and if he will make a statement so as to give guidance in the ordering of stocks of lamps.

Mr. Barnes

Yes. I am preparing a circular on the subject to lighting authorities, based generally on an over-all saving of not less than 50 per cent. of prewar consumption, and I will send my hon. Friend a copy.
