HC Deb 26 October 1960 vol 627 c273W
Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that a siren is a more efficient instrument than a bell for clearing the road for an ambulance in city traffic; what communications he has received from the Association of Municipal Corporations or local authorities on this subject; and what was the nature of the reply.

Mr. Marples

The Association of Municipal Corporations has been told that its view that ambulances should be entitled to use sirens is receiving consideration in the current review of audible warning systems for priority vehicles.
