HC Deb 10 June 1996 vol 279 cc27-9W
Mr. Frank Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the locations of all sections of motorway which have overhead lighting, by parliamentary constituency. [31599]

Mr. Watts

I have asked the chief executive of the Highways Agency to write to the hon. Member.

Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mr. Frank Field, dated 10 June 1996: The Secretary of State for Transport has asked me to write to you in reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the location of overhead lighting on motorways. You asked for this information by parliamentary constituency. The Highways Agency's locational information for road lighting does not include references to parliamentary constituencies. The lengths of motorway in England with overhead lighting are however recorded and these are identified on the attached table. The Agency does not have information about the short lengths of principal road motorway in England or the motorways in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The following sections of motorway, in England, contain stretches of road lighting:
Motorway From junction To junction Kilometres Miles
M1 1 20 122 75.8
M1 21 22 6 3.7
