HC Deb 30 July 1953 vol 518 c206W
Mr. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it has proved impossible to enforce the 20 miles per hour speed limit of goods vehicles of over three tons unladen weight; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I am not aware that the police have found it impossible to enforce this particular speed limit. There have been in each of the last three years over 30,000 prosecutions for such offences.
