It's only going to be altered slightly for metrication purposes.
70mph == 112km/h
But most speedos are only graded every 5 units, so they're going to round it to 115km/h (or maybe 120, but I don't think so). It's a small increase, and most limits will change similarly (except for 30 and 40mph, they're going to be rounded down to 45 and 60 km/h afaik).

Someone here will know.
