HC Deb 21 March 1934 vol 287 c1201
21. Major THOMAS

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the increasing number of cycles and other vehicles on the roads, he will take steps to ensure that every vehicle, including cycles, shall carry a rear red light which shall be clearly visible from the rear at all angles of approach?

Mr. STANLEY

I have no power to require cyclists to carry red rear lamps, but all cyclists who do not carry such lamps are required by law to carry efficient red reflectors. I have under consideration the question of ensuring greater visibility of cycles at night.
