Speed Limits: Wales
(asked on 16th October 2023) - View Source
Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to rescind the decision of the Welsh Government to introduce default 20mph speed limits.
This question was answered on 23rd October 2023
As part of the Wales Act 2017, power for setting national speed limits was devolved to the Welsh Government.
It is disappointing that the Welsh Government seems to be ignoring its own impact assessments, which suggest a £4.5 billion hit to the Welsh economy.
The UK Government does not have any current plans to change the national speed limits, or to introduce 20mph as the default speed limit for urban areas in England.
