§ 22. T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for War why military dispatch riders are still permitted to speed along 1852 the crowded streets of cities and the country roads since military urgency no longer is a justification.
§ Mr. LawsonAll War Office vehicles are required to observe the ordinary speed limits imposed on other road users and, in addition, to keep within certain overriding speed limits on all types of roads.
§ T. MooreIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I have listened to that same answer for the last five years; and in view of the tragic statement made by his right hon. Friend the Minister of War Transport yesterday as regards the destruction on the road, will he take some steps to try and enforce a limited speed on Army vehicles, and especially motor cycles?.
§ Mr. LawsonI will see what I can do about it, and if the hon. and gallant Gentleman or any hon. Member has any particular case to bring to my notice, I will consider it.
