§ Mr. Amessasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on his policy towards upper and lower speed limits on the motorway.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe current maximum speed limit on the motorways was fully reviewed in 1984 and 1985. We decided that a 70 mph limit continues to provide the right balance between safety and the need for fast and convenient travel.
I have no plans for minimum limits.
