HC Deb 15 August 1940 vol 364 c967
72. Mr. Lipson

asked the Home Secretary what communications he has made to local police authorities since the war concerning the enforcement of the speed limit in built-up areas?

Sir J. Anderson

A circular was issued to chief constables in January last drawing their attention to the new Order imposing a speed limit of 20 miles an hour in built-up areas during the hours of darkness. No other circular on the subject of the speed limit has been issued to the police since the outbreak of war.

Mr. Lipson

May we assume from the reply of my right hon. Friend that it is his desire that the speed limit in built-up areas should be enforced?

Sir J. Anderson

Yes, Sir, certainly.
