asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the fact that many accidents have been recently caused on the roads by vehicles not lighting up before the specified time; and whether, in view of modern conditions, he will consider introducing regulations that will compel all road users to light up at dusk instead of waiting for lighting-up time?

I have no power to alter by regulation the lighting-up times for vehicles fixed by the Road Transport Lighting Act, 1927.

Will the Minister consider introducing legislation, as these regulations were made before the advent of the motor car?

In 1927.

Mr. ALEXANDER:

Is there any definite information available at the Ministry of Transport?
