§ Mr. Monroasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will erect 60 mph signs at the beginning of the A74 to indicate the temporary energy saving speed limit for private cars on this road;
(2) 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.
§ Mr. CarmichaelNo. It would not be in the interest of road safety to single out one road in this way. However, if these speed limits are continued beyond the present expiry date of 30th November we shall consider the need for further general publicity.
