§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Transport what estimate he has made of the number of vehicles equipped with reflective safety number plates; what he estimates this will be by the end of 1969; and at what level he proposes to consider the introduction of compulsory legislation with particular reference to new cars and cars undergoing Ministry of Transport testing.
§ Mr. MarshNone. These plates may make some contribution to accident prevention but I doubt whether this is sufficient to justify the additional expense involved in making them obligatory. I am now considering to what extent they may make law enforcement easier.
