asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether any speed limit for motor cars and motor cycles are still in force; if so, whether it is being enforced; and whether it is proposed to carry out the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Taxation and Regulation of Motor Vehicles to print on all licences the statement of rules and courtesies of the road which they prepared?

The maximum speed for motor cars and motor cycles on a public highway is fixed by Section 9 of the Motor Car Act, 1903, and the question of its enforcement is a matter for the police. As regards the last part of the question, as I stated on 11th April, in reply to a question from the hon. Member for Ashton-under-Lyne, I am awaiting a favourable opportunity to introduce a Bill to give effect to the more important of the recommendations of the Departmental Committee, but I do not think it desirable to deal with them piecemeal.

Is the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that a certain Member of this House has been convicted 14 times?
