HC Deb 25 February 1952 vol 496 c80W
82. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the danger to the public caused by allowing horses to be either ridden or led after dark without a light; and what steps he proposes to take to deal with the matter.

Mr. Maclay

I am aware that this practice has its dangers, although it is not the cause of more than a fractional percentage of total road accidents. I will see whether advice on this subject can be included in the Highway Code when it is next revised. Meanwhile, I will consider other means of bringing the matter to the attention of those concerned.
