Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Sir Irvine Patnick, dated 24 November 1995:
As you know, the Minister for Railways and Roads, Mr. John Watts, has asked me to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has for continuous lighting on the remaining unlit sections of the M1 between London and Junction 29.350WThe M1 is unlit between junctions 19 and 20, 21A and 23, and 26 and 29. There are no plans at present to light these sections but lighting will be considered if it can be economically justified on the bases of forecast savings in night time road accidents.
