§ Lord Jenkins of Putneyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are aware that lower road speed limits than those applicable in the United Kingdom are more rigidly enforced in other countries than the higher limits appear to be in this country.
§ Lord GlenarthurReliable international comparisons of the strength of enforcement action are difficult to make. In the United Kingdom the effort devoted to the enforcement of a particular law and the kind of enforcement action that is taken are matters for individual chief officers of police to determine in the light of other police commitments.
