Proceeding contribution from Viscount Simon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].
Road Safety Bill [HL]
Perhaps I may be even more reactionary than my noble friend. If continental drivers have problems adjusting to imperial measures, why do they not use imperial measurements over there? I really do not know. My final thought is a minor correction: 80 kilometres per hour is 50 miles per hour.
