§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Minister of Transport if she will introduce legislation to make dual braking circuits in cars compulsory.
§ Mr. CarmichaelOur Construction and Use Regulations already require motor cars to be fitted with two braking systems or one system with two separate means of operation.
We have no plans at present for requiring dual braking circuits both operated through the footbrake, in addition to a handbrake. The application of any such an arrangement to motor cars generally poses technical and other problems which we are beginning to study in conjunction with our colleagues in the Economic Commission for Europe.
