HC Deb 29 July 1975 vol 896 cc454-5W
Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the number of prosecutions against private motorists commercial vehicle drivers and bus drivers, respectively, for exceeding the speed limit on the A74 in Scotland in 1974; and how many of these concerned contravention of the speed limits imposed under the energy-saving regulations.

Mr. William Ross

I regret that the information requested cannot be obtained without undue expenditure and effort.

Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the approximate traffic flow of vehicles per day on the A74, in 1974, 1973 and 1972.

Mr. William Ross

The quietest section of A74 carried some 14,000, 16,200 and 15,500 vehicles per day in 1972, 1973 and 1974, respectively. The two busiest sections carried some 15,000, 17,500 and 17,200 vehicles per day in the same years, respectively.
