HC Deb 08 March 1961 vol 636 cc46-7W
33. Mr. C. Royle

asked the Minister of Transport if he will authorise the Roard Research Laboratory to undertake a pilot scheme on the lighting of motorways in this country.

Mr. Marples

No. I see little practical advantage in having a pilot scheme since it is not my present intention to light rural motorways while heavily trafficked all-purpose roads, where the hazards from pedestrians, cyclists, general traffic movement and obstructions are greater, remain unlighted.
