HC Deb 04 November 1946 vol 428 c174W
86. Mr. T. Macpherson

asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the large number of road accidents in which cyclists are involved, especially at night, he will give consideration to making it obligatory upon cycle manufacturers to fit cycle pedals with cat's eyes, as is customary in Germany, and on similar lines to the German pedal cycle which has been shown to him.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Pedal cyclists are already required to carry at night a red rear light, a white front light and will from a date to be prescribed, have also to carry a red rear reflector on a white surface. I will, however, be happy to discuss the device referred to in the Question with my hon. Friend.
