HC Deb 03 February 1969 vol 777 cc17-8W
Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Minister of Transport what proposals he has for improving the warning lights system on the M1 motorway; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Marsh

Permanent remotely-controlled traffic signals will be installed later this year on 62 miles of M1, M18 and A1(M) in the West Riding of Yorkshire as part of the programme announced by my predecessor.

We expect to invite tenders for signal systems for about 20 miles of M1 and M10 in the Metropolitan Police District and Hertfordshire in the spring; the signal systems should be in use next year.
