HC Deb 31 January 1978 vol 943 c81W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Transport why it took nine weeks to send a short negative answer in respect of a request to consider the introduction of speed restrictions on the A1101 at Churchill Road, Wisbech.

Mr. Horam

Although my right hon. Friend could not in the event agree that the restriction should be introduced, the hon. Member's proposal was the subject of a thorough review in the light of our general policy on the application of speed limits. I am sorry that he was not told why the reply would be delayed.
