HC Deb 15 June 1965 vol 714 c56W
62. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Transport if he will seek to make it compulsory for lorries over a specified length to carry reflector lights on their near-and off-sides.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations, 1964, already require certain long vehicles and combinations of vehicles and trailers to carry lamps on their sides in specified positions.

I will consider extending these regulations so as to require lights or reflectors on the sides of shorter vehicles when a Working Party of the Economic Council for Europe which is studying this problem has made its recommendations.
