HC Deb 21 June 1961 vol 642 c137W
56. Mr. Goodhew

asked the Minister of Transport when he will implement the proposed increase from 30 miles-per-hour to 40 miles-per-hour in the speed limit for omnibuses and coaches.

Mr. Hay

We are about to lay before the House Regulations amending the First Schedule to the Road Traffic Act, 1960, by increasing the speed limit for large passenger vehicles to 40 m.p.h. outside built-up areas. The Regulations will come into effect once they have been approved by both Houses of Parliament.
