§ 69. Mr. JOELasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the introduction of the 30 miles per hour speed limit in built-up areas next month, he proposes to issue for the information of motorists a statement as to how this speed limit will be enforced?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI have been asked to reply. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis proposes, in good time before the coming into operation of the speed limit, to issue a notice to the public through the Press and the British Broadcasting Corporation explaining the methods of enforcement which the police intend to adopt with a view to securing compliance with the law. I am suggesting to chief officers of police outside London that they should take similar steps to inform the public in their respective police districts. I am at present in consultation with my hon. Friend the Minister of Transport on the question whether any further measure of publicity is desirable.
