§ Mr. Proudfootasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many miles of motorway central crash barriers have now been installed since he announced his intention to carry out this work. Mr. Graham Page: Since my right hon. Friend announced his intention on 27th August last to provide safety barriers on 1,000 miles of motorway by the end of 1975, 10 miles have been erected on M62, seven on M4 and a further eight miles on three other separate lengths.
My right hon. Friend hopes to start work on M1 in April with a view to completing the London—Birmingham section by the end of the year.
