HC Deb 21 March 1967 vol 743 cc239-40W
69. Sir B. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport whether she is aware that the current edition of the Highway Code is misleading in that it does not include the new traffic signs and does not mention the 70 miles per hour speed limit but states that on motorways there is no speed limit; and when she proposes to issue a correct Highway Code.

Mr. John Morris

The Highway Code is being revised and will be laid before Parliament, as the law requires, in due course. An official booklet "The New Traffic Signs" was published in 1965. The 70 m.p.h. speed limit is experimental and thus inappropriate for the Code.
