HC Deb 25 May 1960 vol 624 c43W
46. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state in detail the evidence in his possession which led him to the conclusion that a one-day concentration of effort in the form of a dedicated Road Safety Day would not promote road safety.

Mr. Marples

Two such special days were dedicated to road safety in the United States in 1954 and 1955, and one in the Midland counties of this country in 1955. The results were unfavourable or inconclusive.
