HC Deb 12 November 1985 vol 86 c127W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions his Department has had with Hertfordshire county council regarding traffic levels on the B197 between Welwyn and Stevenage; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

There have been no general discussions between the Department and the county council regarding traffic levels on the B197, for which the county council is the highway authority. By agreement with it, it is being used during roadworks on the A1(M) as a diversionary route to enable northbound traffic from Welwyn to join the motorway at Stevenage.
