§ 96. Sir B. Jannerasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the reduction in accidents caused by straying animals on the A31 within the New Forest from 83 in 1960 to 3 in 1965, prior to which a fencing scheme had been carried out in 1964, if she will now introduce a Bill to deal with the general position.
§ Mr. SwinglerThis does not seem necessary. Section 85 of the Highways Act, 1959, already empowers highways authorities to fence highways.
