HC Deb 25 January 1940 vol 356 cc799-800W
Mr. Hunter

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the roads may be made more safe for motor drivers, pedestrians and cyclists if permission be given for motor-cars to carry two masked headlamps; that experiments with two masked headlamps show that the beams cover the whole of the roadway without throwing light further ahead that might help enemy aircraft; and will he consider this suggestion to reduce the strain on drivers and to lessen the number of accidents and deaths on the public highways?

Sir J. Anderson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on Thursday last to my hon. Friend the Member for Elland (Mr. Levy).
