A45 (M1—Weedon)

HC Deb 11 December 1980 vol 995 cc558-9W

Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Transport what is the average number of traffic movements per night on the A45 between the M1 and Weedon.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

216.

Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is satisfied that the annual running cost of £3,000 for the illumination of the A45 between the M1 and Weedon is necessary.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Yes. Now that the lighting system has been installed, in the circumstances I set out to my hon. Friend in my letter of 13 November, it would be wasteful not to switch it on at night.
