Transport Secretary Mark Harper during the Conservative Party annual conference at the Manchester Central convention complex, October 2, 2023
TRANSPORT secretary Mark Harper gave motorists the green light today to drive faster through towns and cities as the government stepped up its courting of the car vote.

He said that “30mph is the default speed limit on urban roads.”
