§ 75. Viscount CURZONasked the Minister of Transport whether the time has now arrived when all necessity for the special speed restrictions of 10 miles per hour upon motor vehicles should be inquired into in the light of experience gained since their imposition, with a view to removing those which may not now be considered to be necessary.
§ Sir E. GEDDESThe question of restrictions on the speed of motor vehicles is one of the matters still to be considered by the Departmental Committee on the Taxation and Regulation of Road Vehicles. The need for the removal of existing restrictions which may now be unnecessary will be considered by the Committee.
§ Mr. MacVEAGHMay I ask whether in the event of the speed limit being abolished he intends to refund the fines imposed upon Cabinet Ministers and noble Lords who are Members of this House for exceeding the speed limit?
