The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing measures to limit the brightness of LED car headlights.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

All types of road vehicle headlamps are designed, tested, and approved to internationally recognised standards to help prevent undue glare and ensure safety on a broad range of roads and environments.

However, noting increased public concern, Government has commissioned independent research to better understand the root causes of headlamp glare. The work is underway and is due to deliver in summer 2025.
