§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the President of the Local Government Board whether the consideration of the modification of the Defence of the Realm Act Regulation No. 1,655, as regards headlights on cars, is being postponed until the Ministry of Ways and Communications has been set up; and whether there are any and, if so, what other matters of equal urgency the consideration of which by his Department is being deferred for the same reasons?
§ Dr. ADDISONAny question of the modification of the Regulation to which the hon. Member refers would be a matter for the Home Secretary by whom the Regulation was made. The consideration of the question of permanent Regulations with respect to lights on motor vehicles, to come into operation upon the Defence of the Realm Regulations ceasing to operate, is not being proceeded with pending the passing of the Ministry of Ways and Communications Bill. The consideration of the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Road Locomotives and Heavy Motor Cars is also deferred.
