§ Lieut.-Commander Baldockasked the Minister of Transport if, when he requires direction indicators and stop lights to be fitted to motor vehicles generally, he will also require red reflectors to be fixed on the rear of all motor vehicles and bicycles to ensure against the failure of the rear light.
§ Mr. BarnesThe desirability of requiring all motor vehicles, including motor cycles, to carry rear reflectors is under consideration. New legislation would be necessary and I cannot therefore undertake that such a requirement, if agreed, would come into operation at the same time as the contemplated new Regulations requiring direction indicators and stop lights to be fitted on motor vehicles generally.
