§ CAPTAIN ARTHUR MURRAY (Kincardineshire)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that the employment of dazzling headlights on motor cars has been the cause of accidents to the cycling and driving public; and whether, when framing future motor legislation, he will bear this in mind and compel the use of such appliances as will reduce to a minimum the excessive glare.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSI am aware of the disadvantages attending the use of these dazzling lights. The subject has received the consideration both of the Local Government Board and of the Royal Commission on Motor Cars, but at present I have not seen my way to an appropriate method of dealing with the matter.
§ MR. WATT (Glasgow, College)asked whether the point could be dealt with by regulation, or whether it needed legislation.
§ MR. BURNSIf it can be dealt with by regulation, I will see whether there may not be an early opportunity to deal with it.
