HC Deb 02 February 1973 vol 849 cc475-6W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he proposes to erect crash barriers on the dual carriageway sections of the A2.

Mr. Speed

It is not general policy to provide central barrier on dual carriageway all-purpose trunk roads. Some lengths of these roads are such that the provision of central barrier as a special case is justified. The Swanscombe cutting on the A2 comes within this category and approval has been given; arrangements for installation are in hand.
