§ Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the large number of accidents on the Gerrards Cross section of the London-Oxford road; and whether he proposes to impose a speed limit thereon?
§ Captain WallaceMy attention has been called to the accidents which have occurred on this section of road, but as it cannot be regarded as being in a built-up area I should not be justified in imposing a speed limit. On the instructions of my predecessor, refuges have been provided at the most dangerous intersection and a comprehensive scheme, which is designed to make the road safer for all road users, particularly pedestrians, will be put in hand as quickly as possible.
