HC Deb 04 March 1936 vol 309 c1382
61. Mr. SO RENSEN

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the large number of motor vehicles untraced, causing death or injury, he will consider issuing a regulation making compulsory the use of larger number plates and their more adequate illumination?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir.

Mr. SORENSEN

Do I understand that the right hon. Gentleman intends it to apply to all cars manufactured in future

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am proposing to circulate to the motor organisations for their comments, a proposal to increase the visibility of number plates.
