HC Deb 27 January 1977 vol 924 c717W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he proposes to improve safety for motor vehicles on the two-lane stretch of the M1 motorway between junctions 4 and 7.

Mr. Horam

As I told the House on 1st December, I am looking into the suggestion that heavy goods vehicles should be confined to the nearside lane. Despite the overloading of this stretch of motorway, present indications are that the accident rate is not exceptional.
