§ Mr. Roy HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the causes of the congestion and delays on the northbound carriageway of the M6 between junctions 6 and 23 on the afternoon of 8 July.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTraffic flows were heavy on the M6 that day. The major maintenance work under way between junctions 6 and 7, and essential resurfacing and bridge works between junctions 16 and 17 and junctions 21 and 23, all of which involved contraflow working, will have exacerbated the congestion.
