asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, following the accident on the M1 near Toddington, Bedfordshire, on 9th June, when a lorry broke through the crash barrier and collided with oncoming traffic, he will order an immediate inquiry into crash barriers on the Bedfordshire section of the M1; if he is satisfied with crash barrier construction on all motor ways; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

As a result of recent detailed inspections, I am satisfied that the barriers have been constructed in accordance with specifications which are practicable.
