HC Deb 10 December 1974 vol 883 c143W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the resultant saving in lives and fuel, he will bring in a reduced maximum permitted speed limit.

Mr. Mulley

I would refer my hon. Friend to my statement yesterday.—[Vol. 883, c. 38–44.]

Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider eliminating the accident rate criterion from the criteria for the determination of speed limits.

Mr. Mulley
