HC Deb 04 July 1935 vol 303 cc1999-2000
37. Sir G. FOX

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has in mind any regulations to deal with the question of lights at abnormal levels at the front and rear of motor vehicles?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir. I am to-day circulating to representative organisations for their comments draft regulations which provide, inter alia, that front lights shall not be more than five feet above the ground and that red rear lights shall not be more than three feet six inches above the ground unless a red reflector and white patch are also carried. The regulations also contain provisions to mitigate the danger of dazzle.

Sir G. FOX

Will this also apply to Post Office vans?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir.
