HC Deb 11 May 1911 vol 25 c1523W
Mr. HOUSTON

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware of the danger to cyclists when riding along dark and unlighted roads without the protection of a tail lamp attached to the cycle, which would warn mechanically-propelled and other vehicles overtaking them; and whether, to protect cyclists from being run down and injured he will introduce legislation requiring them to carry a tail lamp as other vehicles are compelled to do?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The danger is well known. The precaution is one which cyclists should take in their own interests, but I cannot promise legislation.
