Mr. Jim Callaghanasked the Secretary of State for Transport what would be the cost to light up the stretch of the M62 between Prestwich and Rochdale; and if he will now, as a safety measure, take steps to have the lighting put into operation as soon as possible.
§ Mr. HoramThe cost of lighting this length of the M62 would be of the order734W of £1 million. We are aware of the local concern about this lighting and are having the situation reviewed to see whether any changes in the priority of schemes to install lighting on motorways and other trunk roads would be justified.
