HC Deb 14 July 1969 vol 787 cc1-2W
45. Mr. Currie

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will seek to make the fitting of a safety mirror device, details of which have been sent to him, or some similar device, compulsory on all commercial vehicles.

Mr. Carmichael

Ministry engineers have examined an underfloor scanning device which has been fitted by some operators of vehicles used for door-to-door deliveries, but the benefits gained from making it compulsory on all commercial vehicles would not justify the cost.
