HC Deb 19 June 1956 vol 554 c92W
Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will introduce legislation to exempt small pick-up vehicles which have a pay load of between 5 to 10 cwt. from the maximum speed limit of 30 miles per hour when outside built-up areas.

Mr. Watkinson

No. I do not think there are sufficient grounds to treat these vehicles differently from other small goods vehicles as regards the speed limit, even if it were practicable to devise a workable legal definition of them for this purpose.
