HC Deb 21 July 1965 vol 716 c222W
71. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the desirability of ensuring that, as far as possible in the future, the fenders or bumpers of motor cars licensed in the United Kingdom should be of uniform width; and if he will introduce regulations to achieve this result in a reasonable number of years.

Mr. Tom Fraser

Because of the many different sizes of vehicles produced in this country it would be impracticable to make regulations fixing a standard width for all bumpers.
