HL Deb 02 July 1984 vol 454 c136WA
Lord Mulley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why on Friday, 15th June, several miles of the dual carriageways had two of their three lanes closed, in both directions, for no apparent or visible reason, on the road from London to Dover, causing considerable and apparently unnecessary delays and inconvenience.

Lord Lucas of Chilworth

The lane closures were made to allow essential preliminary inspections to be carried out in readiness for maintenance work over the weekend.
