§ Mr. WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has taken to ensure adequate transport provision for the increased number of visitors during the European football championships. [25500]
§ Mr. NorrisHow best to cater for increased passenger demand is a matter for the commercial judgment of transport service operators. I am confident that they will not miss the opportunity this important event will offer. I understand that plans are being made to provide the necessary public transport information and additional capacity.
Arrangements are in hand for providing comprehensive temporary directional signing on both the trunk and local road network. It is for local authorities to consider whether special temporary traffic management and parking arrangements are needed in the vicinity of the football stadiums involved.
