Mr Gordon Hall Caine

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is yet in a position to make a statement as to the progress that has been made as a result of his representations to the local authorities to de-restrict from the speed limit roads which have been unnecessarily subjected thereto?

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on 27th June on this subject to the hon. and gallant Member for Clitheroe (Sir W. Brass) of which I am sending him a copy.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
