Mr. Hornby

asked the Minister of Transport what consultations took place with the recognised motoring organisations before the decision to introduce the 70 miles per hour speed limit on motorways.

Mr. John Morris

Before the decision was taken to adopt the 70 m.p.h. speed limit experiment, representatives of the Automobile Association and the Royal Automobile Club were invited to a meeting at which the proposal was fully discussed.
