HC Deb 30 May 1935 vol 302 c1319W
Sir J. POWER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can furnish an estimate of the mileage of roads in Great Britain which are and are not, respectively, affected by the speed limit of 30 miles per hour?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am asking local authorities to furnish me with these particulars. In view of the number of proposals for derestricting roads with which I am being called upon to deal, I would prefer, as I recently informed my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Clitheroe (Sir W. Brass), to allow the position to become more stabilised before giving these figures.
