HC Deb 29 July 1988 vol 138 cc759-60W
Mr. Hill

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what future steps he will take to ensure that the police exercise their duty to clear parked vehicles from motorway hard shoulders.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have no reason to doubt that police forces generally are making every effort to secure the prompt clearance of vehicles from the hard shoulders of motorways, but if my hon. Friend has any particular case or circumstances in mind, I would be grateful if he would bring this to the attention of the chief officer of the force concerned.
