HC Deb 23 November 1966 vol 736 c302W
126. Mr. Hooley

asked the Minister of Transport what special precautions are being taken against fog on the motorways; and if she will consider, in cooperation with the police and motoring organisations, introducing a convoy system when stretches of motorway become fogbound.

Mr. John Morris

In the short term, the existing system of flashing amber lights and special broadcast fog warnings will remain in use. In the longer term, all motorways will be equipped with remotely controlled emergency warning signals to indicate maximum advisory speeds in bad weather.

We believe these are more practical measures than a system of convoys.
