HC Deb 09 February 1966 vol 724 c74W
130. Mr. Maxwell

asked the Minister of Transport if she will require all local highway authorities to consult the relevant local councils before making proposals concerning speed limits.

Mr. John Morris

Order-making authorities are not obliged by law to consult local councils about speed limit proposals but it is customary for them to do so. In any case all objections in response to the statutory public notice are carefully considered in the Department before a final decision is taken.
