Mr. Boston

asked the Minister of Transport: if he is aware of the anxiety caused by the recent accidents on the M.2 and the A.20(M); and whether he will have inquiries made to see what action is needed.

Mr. Tom Fraser

Yes, and I sympathise with it. Preliminary inquiries, however, show that each of the recent serious accidents involved causes peculiar to that accident and that there is no common cause which is susceptible to remedy by me.
