Amended Answers to Oral Questions — Question No. 2 to Minister, 19 September

Point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek leave to make a personal explanation to correct a statement I made in question time on Thursday, 19 September.

SPEAKER: Leave is sought. Is there any objection to that course of action? There appears to be none.

Hon SIMEON BROWN: On the advice of the Ministry of Transport, the Hon Matt Doocey responded to an oral question on my behalf that referenced “default speed limits” in six countries. This morning, the Ministry of Transport corrected this advice to remove the word “default”. The correct statement is that Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Japan, Denmark, and England all have speed limits of 50 kilometres per hour on urban roads.
