HC Deb 26 October 1955 vol 545 c28W
81. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will consider drawing the attention of all the authorities concerned to the desirability of standardising street lighting throughout the urban areas in Great Britain; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

My Department advises lighting authorities to adopt the standards of lighting recommended by the Departmental Committee on Street Lighting in their Reports of 1935 and 1937 (where they are providing new equipment). The rate of progress must depend on the financial resources of the responsible authorities.
