HC Deb 20 July 1977 vol 935 c564W
34. Sir David Renton

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what advice on road safety he gives to local authorities in circumstances in which there is a road adjacent to a waterway into which vehicles plunge from time to time, causing death.

Mr. Horam

No specific advice has been issued. I think this is a matter best left to the discretion of local highway authorities, who are free to erect warning signs and safety fences.

51. Mr. Macfarlane

asked the Secretary of State for Transport why he did not include a statement on road safety in the transport White Paper.

Mr. William Rodgers

I refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Ashfield (Mr. Smith) earlier today.
