HC Deb 01 March 1961 vol 635 c132W
53. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport what consideration has been given to the question of control of pedestrians; whether a speed limit on all roads in the country is being prepared; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Marples

I am considering the possibility of experiments in pedestrian control but details are still being worked out. On the second point, I am not at present satisfied that a speed limit on all roads would be suitable for the widely differing standards of roads in this country.
