§ Mr. Hicksasked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in view of the fact that speeds of traffic on the A390 Liskeard—Lostwithiel road now satisfy his Department's recommendations for a 40 mph speed limit, he is prepared to introduce a speed restriction at East Taphouse; and if he will state the reasons for his decision in this matter.
§ Mr. HoramIf the highway authority, the Cornwall County Council, wishes to impose a speed limit at East Taphouse, it is for it to publish a draft order and submit it, with the supporting documents required, for my consent.
To date the County Council has only sought and received my Department's informal advice.
