§ Mr. LuffTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will arrange to amend the notice north of junction 15 on the M40 to show the correct distance to Strensham services on the M5.
§ Mr. KeyThis is a matter for the Highways Agency and the chief executive will write to the hon. Member.
Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. Peter Luff, dated 29 April 1994:
You recently asked the Secretary of State for Transport, in a written PQ, if he would arrange to amend the notice north of junction 15 on the M40 to show the correct distance to Strensham Services on the M5. As this is the responsibility of the Highways Agency, the Secretary of State has asked me to reply.The sign north of M40 junction 15 was recently amended as part of the West Midlands motorway box resigning. Unfortunately the distance to the Strensham Services on the M5 south had been incorrectly given as 17 miles instead of 45 miles. A cover plate giving the correct distance has now been made and you will be pleased to know that the sign was amended on 26 April.
