HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 c307W
Mr. Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what reply he has given to the application of the Runcorn UDC for the imposition of a speed limit on the Runcorn Spur Road A533; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Carmichael

The Halton District Council, as successor to the Runcorn UDC, has been informed that my right hon. Friend is prepared to give consent to a 40 mph speed limit for a limited period, after which the position should be reviewed.
