HC Deb 01 May 1961 vol 639 c88W
Mr. A. Royle

asked the Minister of Works if he will give the figures of prosecutions for exceeding the speed limit in Richmond Park for the first four months after the speed limit was increased to 30 miles-per-hour, and the comparable figures for the previous three years.

Lord John Hope

The number of prosecutions for offences committed in the period 4th August to 3rd December in each of the four years was:

1957 None
1958 None
1959 2
1960 29

The 1960 figure reflects the vigorous enforcement of the new speed limit which, in the House on 18th July last, I undertook to ensure.
