§ 57. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Transport whether he will now make a further statement on road safety measures including the steps he proposes to take in regard to making the use of zebra crossings more effective.
Mr. BraithwaiteI am not at present in a position to make any fresh statement about road safety measures generally. The zebra crossings appear on the whole to be working well, but my right hon. Friend is considering what can be done to improve their conspicuity at night.
§ 68. Mr. Snowasked the Minister of Transport if in view of the strength of local concern, he will reconsider his Department's support of the decision of the Staffordshire County Council Divisional Road Engineer to refuse to allow striped pedestrian crossings in the city of Lichfield on the Friary Road, at or near the proposed omnibus station at St. John Street, between Frog Lane and Wade Street and at Church Street.
Mr. BraithwaiteMy right hon. Friend has reviewed the decision about the provision of zebra crossings at the three sites referred to, but does not consider that it would be right to agree to pedestrian crossings at these places.
§ 76. Brigadier Medlicottasked the Minister of Transport if he has yet completed his review of road safety measures, with particular reference to zebra crossings and crossings near schools; and if he will now make a statement.

Mr. BraithwaiteI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answers I have given today to the hon. Members for Colchester (Mr. Alport) and Leicester, North-West (Mr. Janner).
