Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:12 pm on 12 July 2022.
I'm grateful to be able to contribute in today's motion on the Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022, in which Wales, of course, could become the first nation in the world to adopt the 20 mph default speed limit on residential streets. I say 'could', but I'm sure that the Labour whip is as strong as possible for all the backbenchers on that side of the Chamber as well.
I'd first like to outline my sheer disappointment, Llywydd, that today's motion has been given just 30 minutes on the order paper. For such a significant shift in the way people live their daily lives, 30 minutes, in my view, is nowhere near enough.
