HC Deb 23 December 1964 vol 704 cc280-1W
58. Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Transport if he will investigate the causes of the accidents on the Doncaster by-pass during the recent foggy weather; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Minister of Transport what steps he is taking to eliminate the hazards of travelling on the Doncaster by-pass.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The evidence I have indicates that these accidents were caused by excessive speeds in dense fog. I am experimenting with warning signs on M.5, but in these conditions I do not think that any warning signs would have much effect.
