§ 34. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Minister of Transport from how many local authorities he has received protests against the proposed increase in the speed limit for heavy goods vehicles.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterDoes the hon. Gentleman propose to pay more attention to this very considerable manifestation of opinion by this very large number of elected local bodies?
§ Mr. CallaghanIt is not a large number in relation to the total number of local authorities. In any case, the House will have the opportunity of expressing its views on this matter before it is put into effect.
§ Mr. E. FletcherCan my hon. Friend say whether a great many of these protests came from the London area?
§ Mr. CallaghanNot without notice.
