§ Sir W. SUGDENasked the Minister of Transport whether he will take steps to ensure that the owners and drivers of motor vehicles comply with the law as to the adequate illumination of rear-number plates at night-time, in view of the need for the public to be able readily to identify motor vehicles which are involved in accidents, and the present uncertain method of number plate discernment?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI have been asked to reply to this question. The enforcement of the law is a matter for the police, and proceedings are taken in a large number of cases.
