HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 c165W
Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been prosecuted for exceeding the 60 miles per hour speed limit on the A45 between Thurlaston roundabout and the Birmingham boundary.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

It would involve a disproportionate effort to obtain the precise information; but the figures available indicate that during the twelve months following introduction of this limit on an experimental basis on 17th October 1967 over 120 such prosecutions were undertaken. Figures for exceeding speed limits appropriate to various classes of vehicle were considerably greater.
