Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (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]

I am grateful to all the noble Lords who have taken part in this debate and for the Minister’s detailed reply. I seem to have had something of a bit part myself, even though I initiated the debate. A number of wicked supplementaries came to mind for the Minister, but at this late hour I have resisted that temptation. But I am not convinced that the Minister fully understands how difficult it is to comply with speed limits and be aware of the prevailing speed limit. I will read carefully what she said in respect of my and other noble Lords’ amendments and, subject to the usual caveats, I beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
