§ Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps he proposes to take to help to reduce the number of road accidents likely to occur during the Whitsun holiday.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI am joining with local road safety committees and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in a direct appeal to drivers on some of the main roads to and from holiday resorts. The appeal will be mainly through posters, but banners and roadside displays will also be used.
The message for the outward journey is
Enjoy your holiday—go steady and get there ".For the return it is
Enjoy your holiday—go steady and get home ".If holiday drivers will make a conscious effort to drive safely and well, I am sure the number of accidents over Whitsun can be kept down.
