'THE Minister of Transport has decided to withdraw the proposals circulated
I on January 11, 1960, regarding the revision of regulations as to trailer plates and rear reflectors on trailers. This is because further proposals have now been put forward for an international standard for trailer plates. Whilst final agreement has not yet been reached on photometric requirements, it is clear that the 1960 proposals will have to be very largely recast. New proposals will therefore be circulated as soon as general agreement has been reached internationally.
It is intended, however, to make a minor change in these regulations in the near future. At present Regulation 64 (2) specifies that the reflex lenses incorporated in trailer plates "shall be I in. in diameter." As the Minister is advised that this cannot be taken to mean "shall be at least *• in. in diameter" it is considered that the present wording is unduly restrictive.
it is therefore proposed that, in the interim before these regulations are completely revised, this particular regulation should be amended to provide that reflectors must be at least ?, in. in diameter.
