§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received about temporary measures to prevent accidents on the A1 at Felton, Northumberland; and whether he proposes to take any action in the light of them.
§ Mr. MarksMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has received two representations as a result of the recent accidents on the Al near Felton. One is from a private individual and the other from Felton Parish Council.
It is not possible to comment on the two most recent accidents which have occurred since the circumstances surrounding them are sub judice. The Regional Controller (R & T) has, however, initiated a full investigation, on the completion of which any measures thought necessary will be taken.
