Mr. Ted Fletcherasked the Minister of Transport how many people have been involved in road accidents on the section of the A.1 between Chester-le-Street and Darlington since the double white lines separating the traffic on this three-lane highway have been in operation; and how this figure compares with that for a similar period before this system operated.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI regret that this information is not yet available; up-to-date figures are being obtained and I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as I can.
