§ Mrs. Iris RobinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the case for introducing minimum speed limits. [157341]
§ Mr. JamiesonThere are no plans to introduce minimum speed limits on our roads. Minimum speed limits are difficult to enforce as there may be instances where traffic congestion or road works reduce traffic flow to a standstill. This would have the effect of criminalising drivers for circumstances beyond their control.
