HC Deb 18 February 1949 vol 461 c214W
Mr. F. Willey

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the adverse criticism of the traffic "Jimp" made at the recent meeting of the North-East Accident Prevention Federation; and whether he will take steps to remove this unsatisfactory form of propaganda from the North-East.

Mr. Barnes

No. I am aware however, that there has been some criticism of the traffic "Jimp" mainly on the ground of the effect it might have on children's behaviour. This will be borne in mind in preparing material for the next phase of the road safety propaganda campaign. I see no need to withdraw current advertisements or posters.
