A hydraulic brake master cylinder (12) for a vehicle braking system defines a first smaller fluid path (70, 50, 56, 34, 42, 44) and a second larger fluid path (72, 50, 56, 34, 44, 42) for connecting a working chamber (32) with a fluid reservoir at ambient pressure when the cylinder piston (28) is retracted and the brakes are not applied. A pressure relief valve (76) normally closes the second fluid path but is arranged to open when subject to a pressure differential at or above a threshold value. The first fluid path allows a restricted return flow of fluid to the reservoir should a standard knock-back event occur. If a larger knock-back event occurs causing a fluid pressure spike at or above the threshold value, the pressure relief valve (76) opens to allow a higher volume return flow through the second fluid path to dissipate the pressure quickly.
