HC Deb 02 February 1987 vol 109 cc525-6W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what was the time lapse on 26 January between the clearing of obstacles to the free passage of vehicles on the fast lane of the eastbound carriageway of the M4 approximately three miles west of junction 10 and the removal of the advanced road traffic signs indicating that the lane was closed.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The advance warning signs were removed about three-quarters of an hour after the removal of the lane coning. This time was reasonable given the journey via the motorway junctions taken by the removal team.
