§ 101. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is satisfied that number-plates on the front and back of cars are always easily discernible especially at night; whether he will consider what further action can be taken to clarify and strengthen the law to ensure that they are kept clean and properly lighted; and, in view of the fact that the present aluminium plates are sometimes not easily seen owing to dazzle, if he will consider prescribing more suitable metal.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI think the existing Regulations adequately define the standards of legibility and illumination required for number-plates. Enforcement of the Regulations is a matter for the police.
