§ Mr. WallaceTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 19 January,Official Report, column 175, when he now expects the village speed control working group to publish its final report and recommendations; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. KeyMonitoring results from the individual trial sites are all expected to be received before the end of the year, and analysis is under way. A final report will now be made in spring 1994. In advance of the report, valuable lessons are already being learnt as the trials progress. The messages in the report will be disseminated widely to local highway authorities and other groups who have an interest in this area. To follow on from the village speed working group—VISP—I am planning a further series of trials of traffic calming measures for villages on trunk roads next year, starting with Thorney in Cambridgeshire.
