Tory leadership contender Liz Truss would consider scrapping speed limits on motorways if she became Prime Minister.
Speaking at the final hustings of the race to replace Boris Johnson last night at London's Wembley Arena, the Foreign Secretary was asked by an audience member to revisit "dangerous" smart motorways and consider making the speed limit "advisory, not mandatory".
She replied that she would scrap smart motorways because "the experiment has failed."
And turning to speed limits, she added: "I would look at that."
The current national speed limit of 70mph was set back in 1978 after more than a decade of trials on UK motorways.
