HC Deb 28 November 1988 vol 142 c160W
41. Mr. Ward

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures the Government are taking to prevent deer from straying on to roads.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Anti-deer fencing is erected on motorways where deer are known to be present and where they could constitute a hazard to motorists. Other measures include special roadside reflectors. Advice is taken from wildlife experts when roads are planned. Warning signs for motorists to read are erected where deer are a known hazard.
