HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 cc271-2W
106. Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Minister of Transport if she will seek to make advertising on motor vehicles or the displaying of window stickers or slogan-bearing plaques conditional upon the approval of the police or other authority.

Mr. Swingler

Advertising on the bodywork of motor vehicles is no more distracting than by the roadside. The Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1963 already require the driver to have a clear view through all windows of a motor vehicle. Enforcement is a matter for the police.

Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Minister of Transport if she will lake steps to ban or regulate the growing practice of dis- playing on motor vehicles window stickers and plaques bearing slogans, as a contribution to greater road safety.

Mr. Swingler

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer given to him to-day.
