HC Deb 17 July 1950 vol 477 c142W
28. Captain Duncan

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will revoke the Emergency Powers (Defence) Standing Vehicles Orders, 1939 and 1940, in view of the fact that the reason for their imposition no longer exists.

Mr. Barnes

The Committee on Road Safety recommended in 1944 that the parking of motor vehicles on the "wrong" side at night on roads which are not built-up should continue to be prohibited and I accepted this recommendation. The continued extension of the prohibition to built-up roads is not so essential now that street lighting has been restored, and I have under consideration the question of amending the Order of 1939 in this respect.
