HC Deb 21 November 1977 vol 939 c504W
Mr. Hicks

asked 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. Horam

If 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.
