HC Deb 04 February 1959 vol 599 c57W
62. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether, having regard to the accidents taking place on trunk roads through straying animals, and in view of the high speeds attained by modern motor vehicles, he will arrange for the same principle to be applied to fencing on trunk roads, as now applies on the motorways.

Mr. Watkinson

No, the fencing of general purpose trunk roads throughout their length is not a practicable policy.
