§ Sir J. NALLasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that Section 1 of the Road Transport Lighting Act, 1927, which exempts drivers on authorised car parks from keeping vehicles illuminated during the hours of darkness, does not apply to taximeter-cabs on authorised taximeter-cab ranks: and, having regard to the difficulty of maintaining lights during long periods of standing, particularly in provincial towns, whether he can take steps to apply the exemption to taximeter-cabs in appropriate cases?
Mr. STANLEYI will consider this suggestion in connection with the Regulations made under the Road Transport Lighting Act, 1927, which are at present under review.
