HC Deb 10 November 1992 vol 213 cc672-3W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to improve the lighting in tunnels on trunk roads in Greater London; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The only tunnel on a trunk road in Greater London is the Blackwall tunnel. The lighting in the northbound bore of this tunnel was improved earlier this year and is now up to the British Standard.

A principal inspection of the southbound bore will take place in the spring of 1993. Consideration will be given at that time to the need for improvements to the lighting.
