§ Mr. Arnoldasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is satisfied with the contribution of the current speed regulations covering motor coaches on motorways in reducing accidents.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI am satisfied that in normal conditions passenger coaches on motorways can travel safely at up to 70 mph, the legal speed limit. However, I have observed numerous violations of this speed limit and, where possible, this matter will be taken up with the companies concerned.
