HC Deb 09 March 1938 vol 332 cc1889-90
57. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered a recommendation from the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee respecting a speed limit of 30 miles per hour on certain sections of Eastern Avenue, and when the recommendation is likely to be acted upon?

Mr. Burgin

Yes, Sir. I have accepted in part the recommendations of the committee and have given notice of my intention to make the necessary Order.

Mr. Sorensen

Do I understand that there has been no kind of attempt at interference on the part of the police in this area, or any kind of conflict between himself and any other authority?

Mr. Burgin

I do not understand at all the purport of the supplementary question. The question I was asked is whether any recommendation from this particular committee with regard to the 30-mile limit has been considered. The answer was, yes, and an order has been made.

Mr. Sorensen

Has the right hon. Gentleman had any intimation of any kind of resistance from local bodies as to the recommendation he has made?

Mr. Burgin

I think the hon. Member had better put his question on the Paper in order that I may understand what he means.
