The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she expects the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe to publish a timeline for measures to be implemented by car manufacturers to help reduce the occurrence of headlamp glare.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) glare prevention taskforce is currently drafting recommendations for submission to the international lighting expert group in October this year. Implementation, including associated timelines, will depend on progress made in future negotiations with the wide range of UNECE countries that have agreed to be bound by these vehicle construction regulations.
