§ 68. Mr. Danceasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that greater control over street lighting on main traffic routes is necessary in order to ensure that a uniformly high standard is maintained; and if he will seek the necessary powers to effect this.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI accept the need for some revision of the statutory powers governing street lighting. But statutory powers are closely related to financial responsibilities. Any revision must, therefore, be considered in the context of the future of highway grants as a whole and I cannot at present put forward proposals for legislation.
