HC Deb 21 January 1976 vol 903 c459W
Sir T. Kitson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many miles of motorway in the United Kingdom still have not got crash barriers erected on the central reservation; and when it is hoped to complete this work.

Dr. Gilbert

Of the 1,172 miles of motorway in England, 116 miles have no central barrier. Of these, 83 miles will be equipped in a programme commencing as soon as possible; the remaining 33 miles of less busy motoway will be kept under review. Motorways in other parts of the United Kingdom are the responsibilities of the respective Secretaries of State.
