To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on national productivity of increasing the speed limit for vehicles on motorways and dual carriageways.
This question was answered on 16th October 2018

A previous Government made an initial assessment of the possibility of introducing trials of 80 mph limits. This Government currently has no plans to do so.
