Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport how the effect of the 60 mile per hour limit introduced for 12 months as from 18th October, 1967 on a length of A45 will be accurately assessed, in view of the physical alterations made to the road layout in the 12 months ended 17th October, 1967.
§ Mr. CarmichaelClose observation and analysis of individual accidents should enable the particular contribution of the limit to be fairly assessed. In a comprehensive scheme like this the effects of one measure may partly mask those of another but this is not a reason for delaying action that we believe will save lives and casualties.
