HC Deb 29 June 1971 vol 820 c86W
Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the Road Research Laboratory is investigating the results achieved in other countries by the fitting of additional brighter rear lights on motor vehicles for use in fog; and whether he proposes to encourage the use of such lights in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths
