After consultation with other organizations and manufacturing interests, a detailed memorandum containing the industry's observations on the various draft regulations had been forwarded to the Ministry of Transport. It was expected that representatives of all sections of the road passenger transport industry would shortly be invited to the Ministry to discuss the matter.

With regard to the fitting of reflectors and second rear lights, it had been suggested to the Ministry that no good case could be made out for their compulsory use. The Association's technical committee had considered the question and suggested that it was evident that because of its interior illumination, a public service vehicle at night was "an island of light." The expense involved would, it had been urged, be unjustified.
