HC Deb 23 April 1980 vol 983 c191W
25. Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will issue instructions that motorway repairs be timed in periods when access to tourist areas will not be impeded during the coming summer.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Wherever possible motorway works on holiday routes are timed to avoid peak traffic flows. But some work can be undertaken only when temperatures are suitable for laying asphalt.
