§ 40. Mr. Cleaverasked the Minister of Transport what action he proposes to take on dipped headlights arising out of the Birmingham report which has been sent to him; and what are his plans for assisting the city council during the next experimental period of six months.
§ Mr. HayThe Road Traffic Bill now before Parliament contains provisions which, if approved, will enable my right hon. Friend to make regulations controlling the use of headlights. In framing any such regulations he will take carefully into account the reports about the recent Birmingham experiment. We shall be glad to give the city council any help we can for any further experiment.
§ Mr. CleaverWill my right hon. Friend encourage the Road Research Laboratory to take an interest in the next experiment and also ensure that the right information is collected so that his advisers can advise him as to what action he should take as a result of the promising experiments which are taking place?
§ Mr. HaySo far as I am aware, the Road Research Laboratory has taken some interest in the recent Birmingham experiment. I shall try to draw its attention to what my hon. Friend has said about the future experiment.
