HC Deb 13 February 1992 vol 203 c573W
Mr. Evennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he will be consulting on proposals to revise the criteria for setting speed limits.

Mr. Chope

We have today begun consultation on proposals to make more flexible the criteria used for setting speed limits. The new criteria put greater weight on the local environment and should result in speed limits more closely reflecting local conditions. Copies of the consultation document have been placed in the Library of the House.
