Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanningfield (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].
Road Safety Bill [HL]
From the Conservative Front Bench I would like to say that we do not support the amendment tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley; we do support the idea of a 20 mph speed limit when appropriate, but not a general blanket 20 mph approach. As my noble friend Lady Hanham said, and it is certainly the case in my own county, if one drove all the time at 20 mph one would often be overtaken by cyclists. Cyclists often easily go over 20 mph—particularly in Essex. We do not support this amendment.
