asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate the effect on the consumption of motor fuel of introducing a regulation for the compulsory use of dipped headlights during the hours of darkness by all vehicles.

The best estimate available is that the annual consumption of motor fuel would be increased by about 0.05 per cent.
