HC Deb 27 April 1966 vol 727 cc26-7W
57. Mr. Lomas

asked the Minister of Transport if she will introduce legislation to allow the use of the advance warning triangle in the interest of road safety; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Swingler

Regulations are being prepared on the lines of the revised proposals circulated for comment last month. Generally they will allow a red reflectorised triangle complying with the appropriate British Standard to be used to give warning of an obstruction on the road. The Regulations will be made as soon as a few details have been settled and a minor change made in the existing British Standard.
