HC Deb 08 May 1950 vol 475 c23W
114. Brigadier Peto

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the urgent need for omnibus shelters, particularly in rural areas; and whether he will give local authorities the power to erect these shelters either by regulation or by further legislation.

Mr. Barnes

Many local authorities have powers under their local Acts to erect shelters on the highway, but legislation would be required to confer general powers. I hope to deal with this matter when opportunity offers for oppropriate legislation.
