HC Deb 07 June 1967 vol 747 c201W
81. Mr. Kitson

asked the Minister of Transport what are the reasons for the delay in her Department into approving a 30 m.p.h. speed limit in the village of Morton-on-Swale which has been accepted by the highway authority and the police; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris

There is no clear justification for a 30 m.p.h. limit here and representations have been made against it: these have to be considered.

I understand that the Chief Constable was not in favour. After a further site inspection, due this week, my right hon. Friend hopes to be able to come to a decision.
