HC Deb 17 December 1984 vol 70 c71W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will undertake a study into the comparative cost savings involved in reducing road traffic accidents by increasing the lighting on motorways.

Mrs. Chalker

A study on this topic is already in hand and will take account of the examination of data referred to in my reply to a question by my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard) on 12 December 1984, at column528.

Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in the light of the accident on 11 December on the M25, he will make it his policy to light all stretches of motorway and A(M) roads so far unlit; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

I have nothing further to add to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend on 14 December 1984, at column528.
