HC Deb 24 July 1957 vol 574 cc52-3W
Mr. Kenyon

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if his attention has been drawn to the number of accidents which have taken place on the recently derestricted road through Whittle-le-Woods, Chorley; and if he will take action to restrict traffic to the 30 miles limit.

Mr. Watkinson

The accident record does not indicate that conditions have deteriorated as a result of the de-restriction of this road in 1955. I do not think a 30 m.p.h. speed limit would be justified on this stretch of trunk road.
