(2) if he will review the overtaking arrangements on the A361 north Devon link road;

(5) if he will arrange for an official from his Department to visit north Devon and meet representatives of the local county, district and parish councils, and other concerned parties, to discuss safety of the A361 north Devon link road.

Mr. Key

A number of accident reduction measures have already been implemented. Officials of the Department's South West regional office have arranged urgent discussions with our agent authority, Devon county council, and the police on possible further measures. This will include consideration of some of the suggestions put forward by the hon. Member.

I will write to the hon. Member as soon as I have the outcome of the discussions.
