§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the locations of additional sets of traffic signals that have been installed on single and dual 'A' class roads, respectively, within the area of the London Highway Division in the last two years.
§ Mr. MarksFollowing is the information for London trunk roads:
require a system of registration and means to distinguish between caravans regularly in use on the roads and those kept on permanent sites. The drivers of vehicles towing caravans are already liable to prosecution if the caravan fails to comply with legal requirements.
§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of caravans on the roads he estimates to be unroadworthy.
§ Dr. GilbertI regret that the information requested is not available.
§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) whether he will introduce inspections of gas appliances in caravans;
(2) whether he will introduce inspection of ventilation in caravans.
§ Dr. GilbertI have received no evidence that gas appliances or ventilation affect the roadworthiness of caravans or constitute a significant road safety risk, and I do not therefore propose to introduce inspection of these items.
