HC Deb 12 February 1988 vol 127 cc409-10W
Mr. Couchman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to amend the present rules for the lighting of vehicles.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Following a major revision of the vehicle lighting regulations in 1984, a large number of small corrections and clarifications have become necessary.

Draft regulations to revise the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1984 are being circulated to interested parties for comment by 30 April.

New requirements are included for direction indicators on agricultural trailers and certain invalid carriages and for new bicycles to have front lamps conforming to British standard.
