§ 34. Mr. Perkinsasked the Minister of Transport how many fatal road accidents there were in Gloucestershire during 1951; and how many of these took place on the Bristol-Gloucester road.
§ Mr. MaclaySixty-one persons were killed in road accidents in Gloucestershire, including four in the city of Gloucester, in 1951. Of these fatalities seven resulted from accidents on Route A.38 between the Bristol City boundary and the Gloucester City boundary.
§ Mr. Albuasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the increase of accidents, he will consider the imposition of a speed limit on the North Circular Road from Green Lanes to the Cambridge Road.
§ Mr. MaclayOn present evident I am not satisfied that a speed limit here would be justified, but I am referring this matter to the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee and will give further consideration to the hon. Member's suggestion when I receive their advice.
