HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 c296W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the general lack of knowledge upon the part of cyclists that as from 1st November, 1969, they may only use the new type of cycle rear lamp which complies with the improved technical specification British Standard 3648 and that cycle rear lamps BS 2516 will no longer be lawful, and whether he will publicise this by Press, radio and television advertisements.

Mr. Bob Brown

The proposals have had considerable publicity.

The Department issued a Press notice on 10th October reminding cyclists of the new requirements.
