§ Mr. Lathamasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether Her Majesty's Government will make it their policy that sections of motorways should not be coned off at times of intense traffic pressure, such as summer holiday and bank holiday weekends.
§ Mr. RidleyOur policy is to minimise motorway lane closures, as far as is practical, particularly when heavy traffic is expected, but they cannot be completely excluded at holiday and bank holiday times.
