HC Deb 02 March 1920 vol 126 c258
74. Colonel YATE

asked the Home Secretary whether, considering the danger of drivers of cars being temporarily blinded by dazzling headlights coming in the opposite direction and thus unable to avoid anyone crossing the road in front of them, he will have orders issued by the police forbidding the use of dazzling head-lights in the lighted streets of London?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Mr. A. Neal)

I have been asked to answer this question. I have nothing to add to the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member on February 17th.

Viscount CURZON

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that there is considerable feeling about this question of head-lights in the London area, and that they are quite unnecessary for the purpose of driving into London?

Mr. NEAL

I am quite aware that there is considerable feeling about the matter, and I am asking the Committee to expedite its Report.
