§ Mr. Tim SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether his Department's current standard for motorways of dual-four lane width stipulates that they should be continuously lit.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe Department's current standard for motorways of dual-four lane width does not stipulate that they should be continuously lit. The provision of lighting on motorways has first to be justified by economic and environmental assessment. For new and improved motorways of more than dual-three lane width a special case can be made.
