The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she will receive updates in advance of any final report from the taskforce at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on investigations into headlamp glare by vehicles.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The glare prevention taskforce is currently scheduled to meet twice in advance of the October vehicle lighting expert group meeting. UK officials are actively involved in the work of the group. A draft list of recommendations and progress report were submitted to the April meeting of the vehicle lighting expert group.
