HC Deb 23 November 1994 vol 250 cc183-4W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the penalties for engineering work carried out on main roads for a period of longer than three months which has not been approved by the Highways Authority.

Mr. Norris

The carrying out of unauthorised works on or to a highway would constitute unlawful interference with the highway. Part IX of the Highways Act 1980 sets out the various offences of unlawful interference with a highway and specifies the penalties by way of a fine appropriate to each.
