§ 79. Mr. Orr-Ewingasked the Minister of Transport whether he will investigate the need for safety and speed limit signs in the parishes of Easton-in-Gordans and Hutton, in view of the delay on the part of the Somerset County Council in meeting the requests of the local inhabitants.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussMy right hon. Friend is considering the application for a speed limit in the parish of Hutton and10W hopes shortly to be in a position to announce his decision. Neither the county council nor my Department is aware of any proposal for an additional speed limit in the parish of Easton-in-Gordano, but a short length of road B.3124 in the village is subject to a speed limit under the county of Somerset (No. 2) Order, 1936. If the hon. Member would like to send further particulars, the matter will be looked into again.
