HC Deb 20 November 2003 vol 413 c1251W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence under what circumstances members of HM forces may direct traffic on public highways; and if he will make a statement. [139946]

Mr. Caplin

Members of HM forces have no authority to direct traffic on public highways. However, they may supervise and control military traffic on public highways to ensure that it does not impede civilian traffic and that it complies with the appropriate traffic regulations.
