asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the feeling in the country in favour of a speed limit in towns, he will put into force without further delay the speed limits as specified in the First Schedule to the Road Traffic Act, 1934?

asked the Minister of Transport at what date it is intended to bring into operation the proposed speed limit in built-up areas?

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now reimpose a speed limit in built-up areas?

I am formally asking local authorities to consider what roads in built-up areas should not be subject to the speed limit and what roads should be subject to the speed limit although they are not in built-up areas. I 'am also inviting their comments, through their representative organisations, on regulations and directions which I have drafted. I hope to be able to settle these matters by the New Year.
