Head light choices

I have been window shopping for a headlight for my trike, in the J&P catalogue, Hmmm.
What i'm not sure of, is it a legal requirement in the UK to have a side light/ parking light fitted in your headlight. Or can you just have main and dipped only, afterall there will be lights on the rear mud guards facing front and rear to show the width of the vehicle.
There are some really nice headlights but not many have the ability to run a side light.
Thanks
