Baroness Vere of Norbiton
I can provide some further evidence. Between 2010 and 2020, so a 10-year period, dazzle was a contributory factor—and indeed there can be many contributory factors; you do not just have to have one—in 0.25% to 0.34% of collisions. Far less than half a per cent have dazzle as a contributory factor. However, we have also looked at the trend over time and there has been no increase in the amount of dazzle caused. Again, we will continue to look at all evidence, but I can say that a very small number of collisions even have it as a contributory factor.
Lord Geddes (Con)
Does my noble friend know whether the self-adjusting lights can be retrofitted?
Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Con)
I am grateful to my noble friend. I do not know whether they can be retrofitted, but I will find out for him.
