HC Deb 06 April 1971 vol 815 cc119-20W
Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to provide automatic half-barriers at level crossings on trunk and principal roads in Wales, and to build bridges or underpasses to replace such level crossings.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Proposals to provide automatic half-barrier level crossings are made by the British Railways Board to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. I understand that no proposals are before him to provide such crossings in Wales.

I have no plans at present to replace any level crossings on trunk roads by bridges or underpasses.

Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many level crossings on trunk and principal roads there are in Wales, and how many of these are automatic half-barrier level crossings.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Ten on trunk roads and 22 on principal roads. None of these is an automatic half-barrier crossing.
