HC Deb 07 June 1967 vol 747 c206W
41. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Transport whether she is aware that, following speed checks in the area of St. Michael's Street School, Shrewsbury, it has been found that 19 per cent. of motorists exceed the speed limit and 5 per cent. of motorists exceed it by at least six miles per hour; and whether, in view of the constant danger to children and the representations of the school managers, she will take steps to remedy the situation.

Mr. John Morris

Enforcement of the 30 m.p.h. speed limit here is a matter for the police. I understand that their recent radar checks do not bear out the hon. Member's complaint.

We are satisfied that other road safety measures near the school are adequate, but we would, of course, be willing to consider any new proposals.

Forward to
