§ Sir R. Russellasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will have more powerful electric lamp bulbs fitted in the old type of fog warning signals at the sides of M1 and other motorways, in view of the fact that they are often concealed temporarily by high vehicles and are missed by drivers travelling in the middle and fast lanes.
§ Mr. Michael HeseltineNo; this would not be practicable without a complete re-design of the equipment, the cost of which could not be justified in view of the fact that it is being progressively superseded, by permanent remotely operated signals located either overhead or in the central reservation.
