asked the President of the. Local Government Board whether he has power under the Motor Car Acts, 1896 and 1903, to regulate the use of warning instruments on motor vehicles; and, if so, whether he will draw up and issue Regulations on the subject?

I am advisced that the Local Government Board are empowered to make Regulations of the kind referred to, and I have under consideration at the present time the practicability of dealing with the matter by an Order.
