To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when the new regulations controlling road humps will be brought into force; and how soon the local authorities will be allowed to make road humps legally enforceable as a consequence of the new regulations.

These representations are in the final stages of preparation and will be laid before the House very shortly. We have now incorporated the additional relaxations designed to allow road humps in a wider range of circumstances and at lower cost, that were canvassed in our consultation exercise and widely supported.
