§ Mr. Bodyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will impose a speed limit on the A16 road through the village of Deeping St. Nicholas.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsNo. I have studied this request carefully but I do not think that a speed limit is justified. Development is sparse and the accident record, despite the recent unfortunate fatality, which I regret, is not bad enough to justify a breach of the general criteria applied in determining speed limits.
