HC Deb 10 February 1989 vol 146 c818W
Mr. Sedgemore

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his Department's estimate of the current average speed by road, of traffic in central London; and by how much he hopes to increase this over the next five years.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Current average speed is about 11 mph throughout the 7 am to 7 pm period. It is not expected that speeds will change significantly over the next five years.
