HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 c61W
61. Lieut.-Commander Baldock

asked the Minister of Transport when regulations requiring bicycles to be fitted with red reflectors and white mudguards are to be restored.

Mr. Braithwaite

This requirement has not yet been brought into force because manufacturers have not been in a position to meet the demand without detriment to their export and other essential commitments.

62. Lieut.-Commander Baldock

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will introduce regulations requiring red reflectors to be fitted in a prominent position at the back of slow-moving road vehicles.

Mr. Braithwaite

My right hon. Friend has no power to make regulations imposing a general requirement of this nature, but he has under consideration the desirability of changes in the law affecting these matters.
