HC Deb 26 February 1982 vol 18 cc511-2W
Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will review the present criteria for the establishing of pedestrian crossings.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

These criteria were last revised in 1980 and are now contained in our departmental advice note TA 10/80. I am satisfied that they provide an objective measure of need while allowing local authorities sufficient flexibility to provide crossings in special circumstances.
