§ 82. Mr. GRETTONasked the right hon. Gentleman if lighting-up time for traction-engines on high roads and for motor-cars is fixed at different times under separate Acts; and, as this has led to infractions owing to misapprehensions of the law, is there any reason why the lighting-up time for all vehicles should not be the same; and if he will consider the matter?
§ Mr. BURNSUnder Section 5 of the Locomotives Act, 1898, traction-engines on highways are required to carry lights from sunset to sunrise during the winter months. For the rest of the year the hours during which lights are required on these vehicles are the same as those applicable to motor-cars. Legislation would be required to effect a change.
