HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 c1207W
Sir J. Nall

asked the Home Secretary whether he is now able to reply to the representations which have been made regarding the lighting of public service vehicles, the use of fog lights in foggy weather, and the interpretation of the regulations in relation to the lighting of tramcars and rear lights on tramcars?

Sir J. Anderson

I have carefully considered the representations which have been made on the various points to which my hon. Friend refers. As regards the lighting of public service vehicles, I am advised that if operators of public service vehicles take advantage of the standards permitted both for headlights and for interior lighting, no difficulty should arise, but I am arranging to permit the use of fog lights in foggy weather. As regards the lighting of tramcars, I am informed that a satisfactory method has now been devised and I propose to arrange for details of this device to be communicated to public service operators.
