HC Deb 05 July 1944 vol 401 cc1150-1
40. Mr. Bartle Bull

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will consider introducing a regulation that bumpers on motor-cars should always be at the same height.

Mr. Noel-Baker

It is not obligatory to fit bumpers on motor-cars, and I am not satisfied that it is necessary to impose a regulation governing their height from the ground. I will, however, bring my hon. Friend's suggestion to the notice of motor manufacturers.

Mr. Bull

Arising out of that reply, does the Minister think that it is a good thing to have these bumpers at different heights, because it only causes more muddle, and would be consider, if I ask him now, as I have asked him twice before, reaching a decision on the question of right-hand drive?
