§ Mr. Terry DavisTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what alterations are being considered with regard to the regulations affecting the provision of high mounted brake lights on motor vehicles.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleI have no plans at present to alter the current lighting regulations which provide for the optional fitting of high mounted stop lamps on vehicles.
It now seems likely that Europe will follow the USA and, for the future, make the fitting of a supplementary high mounted stop lamp compulsory. When changes are agreed by the European Community, an amendment will be needed to our regulations.
