HC Deb 25 October 1979 vol 972 c273W
Mr. Bidwell

asked the Minister of Transport if he is satisfied with the standard of observation of speed limit law; and, if not, what he proposes to do about it.

Mr. Fowler

Enforcement is for the police and courts, but speed limits, if they are to be observed, must appear sensible. In this connection my Department issues advice to local authorities on setting limits with this as well as other factors in mind.
