HC Deb 13 November 1980 vol 992 c459W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Transport what is the cost of the new lighting system on the A45 between M1 junction 16 and Weedon.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

£31,809.

Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Transport when the new lighting scheme between Ml junction 16 and Weedon on the A45 was authorised.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

17 March 1980.

Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Transport when he first received a letter from the hon. Member for Northampton, North concerning the new lighting scheme between M1 junction 16 and Weedon on the A45.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I first received a letter from my hon. Friend on 19 September 1980.

Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now remove the street lights recently placed on the A45 between M1 junction 16 and Weedon.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. The scheme is virtually complete. It would be uneconomic to remove them.

Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Transport why there has been a delay in answering the correspondence of the hon. Member for Northampton, North concerning the new street lighting scheme between M1 junction 16 and Weedon on the A45.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I am sorry for the delay in this case, but it was necessary to obtain reports on the scheme. I am writing to my hon. Friend today.
