14. Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALLasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a large number of cyclists still refrain from showing a reflector or rear lamp after dark; and whether any further steps can be taken to detect offenders in this respect with a view to their prosecution?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI agree that some latitude has been allowed during the summer in the enforcement of the law in this respect, but I am taking steps to call the attention of the police to it again.
§ Captain BRASSWill the right hon. Gentleman remember that a large number of reflectors are ineffective?
§ 19. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Home Secretary what is the number of proceedings against cyclists in the Metropolitan Police area for disregarding the lighting regulations in respect of rear-lights?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe number of prosecutions between the 22nd April last, when the Regulations came into force, and the 9th instant was 770.
