HC Deb 17 November 1965 vol 720 c76W
Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Transport if he will, as a temporary measure, introduce regulations to control the speed of vehicles using motorways in bad weather conditions, giving the police powers to convoy vehicles over prescribed sections of road.

Mr. Tom Fraser

One of the measures which I am urgently considering for an experimental period, in consultation with the police and other interested bodies mainly concerned, is a system of temporary speed limits to be applied on particular lengths of motorway in bad weather. I will announce a decision as soon as I can.
