HC Deb 02 August 1978 vol 955 cc454-5W
Sir Raymond Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he will take to prescribe lower speed limits for vehicles carrying explosive and combustible substances.

Mr. William Rodgers

Such vehicles are already subject to the more general speed limits prescribed for goods vehicles. But I will consider as part of a wider review of these limits whether there is a case for special limits for vehicles carrying dangerous substances.
