Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.
I am very interested in this issue, on which I spoke in Committee. However, I am still rather puzzled as to what the Scottish Parliament will gain from this aspect of devolution because, as far as I can see, it already has powers to introduce any speed limit that it wishes on any road. As I drive along roads in Glasgow and out in the country, I come across speed limits that are set at 40 miles an hour and 50 miles an hour. Therefore, I hope that the Minister will indicate why this aspect of devolution is required.
