REAR LIGHTS FOR CYCLISTS: Memorandum by the Minister of War Transport.

L. -2- use the procedure of a Defence Regulation for this purpose, I prefer the alternative of immediate legislation before the present Regulation lapses. 5. The Bill would be a one-clause bill confined to this single subject. It will probably be opposed by the cyclists' organisations but should make little demand upon Parliamentary time and, having regard to the present state of the war and to the advantages of making Statutory provision before the annulment of Defence Regulation 24, I seek authority for the preparation of a Bill which would be submitted to the Legislation Committee for approval.
