HC Deb 14 December 1944 vol 406 cc1357-8W
Flight-Lieutenant Challen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment whether he is aware that a number of motorists never use hooded lights and that the use of ordinary undimmed headlights is a danger to the public; and whether he is satisfied that the police are vested with sufficient powers to deal with offenders.

Mr. H. Morrison

I am aware that the regulation requiring head lamps to be masked is sometimes infringed and that infringements are a danger to other road users. I am satisfied that the police have sufficient power to deal with lighting offences and are paying special attention to the matter.
