HC Deb 25 October 1912 vol 42 c2557W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether, having regard to the great advantage of transparent lights showing the numbers of motor omnibuses and motors, which have been so very successful where they are used, he will now issue an Order making it compulsory upon all motors to carry transparent illuminators of all licence numbers?

Mr. BURNS

The illumination of identification plates on motor cars by means of transparencies is permissible under the existing Order of the Local Government Beard, but I am not at present prepared to make their use compulsory to the exclusion of other methods of illumination.
