Footpaths and Bridleways

HC Deb 27 March 1990 vol 170 cc141-2W

Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list for each of the years 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989, the number of temporary traffic regulation orders made by local authorities under section

much the pay of physiotherapists, pharmacists, general practitioners, hospital doctors and nurses increased in real terms over the same periods.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The real-terms increases are as follows:

14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to restrict or prohibit the use of footpaths or bridleways for which he gave consent under section 15(2) of that Act for an extension of the period for which the order was in force.

Mr. Atkins

Temporary traffic orders affecting footpaths and bridleways are not separately identified from those affecting road traffic. Records are not kept centrally, and the information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
