BUILT-UP AREAS (SPEED LIMIT).

HC Deb 10 April 1935 vol 300 cc1162-3W

Mr. MARTIN

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider de-restricting certain areas from the speed limit regulations to allow motorists to travel up to 40 miles per hour on dry days in those areas where they are at present restricted to 30 miles per hour, which limit could apply on wet days.

Mr. HORE-BEL1SHA

I have no power to take the action suggested by my hon. Friend.
