HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 c480W
81. Mr. Jopling

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce regulations to make mud-flaps compulsory on all motor vehicles, in order to reduce the spray thrown up in wet weather.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

No. Experiments have shown that mud-flaps on motor vehicles are generally of little value in controlling spray from wet road surfaces.
