HC Deb 08 March 1988 vol 129 cc154-5W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether his Department will undertake further surveys to assess the effect of spray on motorways and its involvement in accidents.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Department's research programme on spray includes work on drivers' reactions to spray in motorway conditions. Motorway accident reports do not identify the possible contribution of spray.
