43. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the introduction of the 30 miles-per-hour speed limit in the London area, he pro poses to dispose of the specially fast stream-lined mail vans which were recently purchased by his Department to increase the efficiency of the air-mail department?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Ernest Bennett)

No, Sir.

Mr. SOMERVILLE

Are these mail vans allowed to exceed the statutory 30 miles an hour?

Sir E. BENNETT

The vans cannot, of course, exceed the speed limits laid down by law.
