§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to reduce the maximum speed of express coaches on motorways and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI believe that the present 70 mph speed limit is safe and realistic in normal conditions. I am, however, concerned at allegations of widespread breaches 37W of the limit and have made my views known on this to both the bus and coach industry and to the enforcement authorities.
