HC Deb 25 March 1925 vol 182 cc430-1
57. Captain BRASS

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the general dissatisfaction caused by the continuance in force of an obsolete speed limit of 20 miles per hour for all motor vehicles, he will consider the advisability of introducing legislation to alter or abolish this limit?

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

This matter is under consideration it connection with the proposed legislation with regard to road vehicles.

Captain BRASS

Is the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that many people are now being prosecuted for exceeding this obsolete speed limit; and may I also ask when it is proposed to bring in this Bill?

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZON

I am aware that a number of people are being prosecuted. I cannot guarantee Parliamentary time for the Bill, but it will be introduced as soon as possible.

Mr. HARDIE

Has the Minister of Transport had his attention called to what is taking place in Glasgow with respect to postal vans, and can he take steps to prevent his murdering of children in the streets by postal vans?
