§ Mr. Harrisonasked the Secretary of State for Transport what new procedures will be adopted from April 1986 for obtaining the information on the maintenance of motorways currently obtained from the metropolitan county councils.
§ Mr. RidleyOn some lengths of motorway we have appointed consultants or district councils to manage parts of the motorway network who will be required to operate maintenance management systems and to provide information in the same way as our existing agents. On other lengths existing agent authorities will be extending their present maintenance activities into the metropolitan areas, and will provide the information.
