"First 20mph year sees 100 fewer killed or badly hurt" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78w1891z03o

If you actually read what the statisticians said about this limit, the difference is within error. Unfortunately, the reporting on this subject is extremely bad and most people are motivated enough not to care.

Care to provide a source for that? TFA just mentions that the chief statistician wants three years of data for significance.
