HC Deb 03 July 1974 vol 876 c158W
26. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what study has been carried out of the reduction in motorway accidents due to the introduction of overhead lighting on motorways; and what plans he has for the scale of motorway lighting in consequence of these studies.

Mr. Carmichael

Studies specific to motorways are in progress, but it is too early to draw conclusions. We have no plans to change the present policy of providing motorway lighting only where there is a special need.
