§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Home Secretary whether the speed limits laid down for private and commercial vehicles apply to vehicles of the Armed Forces; and whether the civil police have been empowered to enforce such limits on Service personnel?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonBy the Motor Vehicles (Variation of Speed Limit) Provisional Regulations, 1940, vehicles in the service of the Armed Forces are exempted from those speed limits which are laid down in the first Schedule to the Road Traffic Act, 1930, as amended by the Road Traffic Act, 1934, which, broadly speaking, dealt with vehicles other than private cars. Other speed limits (i.e. in built-up areas, Royal parks and special areas and in the black-out) apply to these vehicles and are enforced by the police.
