§ 48. Captain P. MACDONALDasked the Minister of Transport whether he is yet in a position to state whether he proposes to publish the proposed changes in the highway code; and whether such changes will be submitted to Parliament for approval before being put into force?
§ Mr. BLINDELLMy hon. Friend does not propose to publish the revised code before it is submitted to Parliament.
§ Captain MACDONALDDo I take it that it will come before Parliament for discussion before it is in operation?
§ Mr. BLINDELLI think my hon. and gallant Friend must take the answer as I gave it.
§ Sir W. BRASSIs my hon. Friend aware that there is no difficulty for any practical driver to consult the code of the road quickly and easily?
§ Captain MACDONALDAs I have had no reply to either of my questions, I intend to put it down again when the responsible Minister is here to answer it.
§ Sir G. FOXWill the hon. Member also consider inserting regulations standardising the position of side and tail lights on all vehicles?
§ Mr. BLINDELLThose observations shall be passed forward to the Minister.
