HC Deb 31 July 1997 vol 299 c533W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when the Highways Agency will be publishing its quality of service indicators for safety, average journey times and the extent of congestion on trunk roads and motorways. [11706]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The latest information on accidents and casualties on trunk roads and motorways in England is contained in "Road Accident Statistics in English Regions: 1995". Average speeds on the various road classes in the network are in "Traffic Speeds on English Trunk Roads: 1995". Both these documents are published by the Government statistical service. The Highways Agency will be publishing congestion monitoring information later this year. The agency is currently developing a more comprehensive set of indicators for the quality of service on trunk roads.
