HC Deb 18 June 1974 vol 875 c108W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when his Department last issued guidance to agent authorities on the maintenance of trunk road verges; and what response there has since been to his recommendation that all highway authorities should adopt similar standards.

Mr. Carmichael

The Department last issued guidance to its agent authorities on the maintenance of trunk road verges in November 1973. It is too early to say what response there has been to the recommendation that all highway authorities should adopt similar standards.
