HC Deb 06 August 1975 vol 897 cc244-5W
Mr. Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will take steps to inform overseas visitors, by posters or other means at service stations, that the maximum speed limit for private cars on the A74 is 60 mph under the temporary energy saving regulations;

(2) if he will erect 60 mph signs at both ends of the A74 in Scotland to indicate the temporary energy saving speed limit for private cars on this road.

Mr. William Ross

No. The present special limits apply generally, and it would be inappropriate, and perhaps misleading, to single out A74.
