§ Sir W. Brassasked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider amending the law in connection with the lighting of motor vehicles whereby all lorries and long-distance motor omnibuses of a width of seven feet or over would be compelled to carry orange width-lights on the body of the vehicle showing a light to the front and the rear, in order that users of the roads at night may realise the width of approaching vehicles and those about to be overtaken, as is the law in France at the present time?
§ Mr. BurginAs my hon. and gallant Friend is aware, this proposal was carefully considered by my predecessor who was unable to adopt it for reasons which he explained at some length to my hon. and gallant Friend. I have reviewed the position, but see no reason to differ from the decision reached by my predecessor.
