§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for Transport how much notice is recommended by his Department prior to the temporary closure of any motorway junction for any reason other than that of an accident.
§ Mr. RidleyNo notice is required for emergency closures, but in other cases seven days' notice is statutorily necessary. My Department aims to give about three weeks' notice locally and also notifies the media nationally of any significant motorway closures and restrictions.
