§ 78. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that there is still a 10-mile limit at Hyde Park Corner in spite of the roundabout system; and how many cars daily exceed this 10-mile limit for speed?
§ Captain HACKINGThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second in the negative.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that there are practically no cars which travel less than 10 miles an hour at the present time?
§ Captain HACKINGThat may be. The question of speed limit rests with the Minister of Transport.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that only the other day the Minister of Transport said that it rested with the Home Office?
§ Captain HACKINGIf anybody exceeds the speed limit, then the Home Office steps in. But the question of making a speed limit is a matter for the Minister of Transport.
§ Mr. CAMPBELLCan the hon. and gallant Gentleman say when he is going to remove all these restrictions from the speed limit?
§ Captain HACKINGThat is a question which should be addressed to the Minister of Transport.
§ Mr. CAMPBELLWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman kindly pass it on?
