HC Deb 28 November 1989 vol 162 c183W
Mr. Thurnham

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to improve safety on motorways; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

Responsible driving is the key to improving motorway safety. We announced a comprehensive package of measures last year to help drivers. These included advice leaflets, videos, extra driving tuition, roadworks safety, signing requirements and 70 mph repeater signs.

A further development to which I attach particular importance is better information for drivers on what is ahead.
