HC Deb 14 November 1988 vol 140 c469W
Sir Anthony Grant

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to see that all motorways are adequately lighted; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Department keeps the lighting requirements of all motorways in England under constant review and provides lighting wherever justified. Each assessment takes safety, environmental and economic factors into account. Some 400 miles of motorway are already lit and a further 100 miles are likely to be lit by 1995.
