§ Mr. MarplesThe provision of wings or other similar fittings to catch, so far as practicable, mud or water thrown up by the rotation of the wheels is already a statutory requirement for most vehicles. The difficulty of providing for different types of lorries and the many uses made of them prevent standardisation, but I am considering whether there is any way in which the present requirement can be improved.
