HC Deb 01 August 1930 vol 242 cc889-90
11 and 12. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Minister of Transport (1) whether there will be any special organisation during the forthcoming bank holiday week-end to enforce the new road transport rules;

(2) whether the speed limit for motor vehicles will be in force during the forthcoming holiday period?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which I gave on Wednesday to a question by the hon. and gallant Member for the Chelmsford Division (Colonel Howard-Bury) as to the arrangements to be made for bringing the provisions of the Road Traffic Act into force. I then pointed out that it would not be possible to bring any part of it into operation before 1st November. The existing law, including the general speed limit of 20 miles an hour, will therefore remain in force during the forthcoming holiday period.
