HC Deb 15 July 1975 vol 895 cc394-5W
Mr. Hall-Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action is proposed to make the road surface on Lindale Hill (A590) safe for heavy goods vehicles in wet weather.

Mr. Carmichael

Tests during May showed that the skid resistance of the surface was acceptable; but there was risk of deterioration in a long spell of hot weather. The surface is therefore being renewed.
