§ 33. Colonel Errollasked the Minister of War Transport whether he is proposing to permit pedal-cyclists to dispense with rear lights and to revert to the use of rear reflectors.
§ Mr. BarnesI have no power to dispense with the obligation to carry red lights imposed on pedal cyclists by the 679 Road Transport Lighting (Cycles) Act, which was passed by Parliament earlier this year after full debate.
§ Colonel ErrollWill the right hon. gentleman consider introducing the Continental practice of adding small reflectors to the pedals of pedal cycles, so that cyclists can be more readily seen in the dark?
§ Mr. BarnesIf the hon. and gallant Member wants further information on that matter I suggest that he puts down a direct question on it.
