HC Deb 23 June 1980 vol 987 c67W
Mr. Speller

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made on the urgent review made into the speed limits along the A39, between Barnstaple and Bideford; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I have written to my hon. Friend stating that, in the light of a detailed study of the accident records, I do not consider that any change in speed limits is justified except for a short extension of the 40 mph limit at the east end of Fremington village. I will, however, keep the matter under review.
