§ 28. Mr. LEONARDasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the inadequate lighting of registration plates on practically all motor vehicles; and will he take steps to make compulsory the use of plates providing for the illuminant showing through opaque letters and numbers adequate to permit of identification of a fast-moving vehicle?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAI agree that many of these plates are very difficult to read at night, and I have already asked the committee on road safety to consider and to report to me upon the whole matter.
§ Captain STRICKLANDMay I ask whether the subject of the inadequate lighting of the number plates on mail vans will be considered at the same time?
