Clause 40 - Motorway picnic areas etc.
Road Safety Bill
5:15 pm
Mr David Jamieson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport; Plymouth, Devonport, Labour)
If such a list existed I would make it available to the hon. Gentleman. Some of the sites are privately owned. These usually tend to be picnic sites/cafes. I will look into it to see if there is anything that we can provide that will be of any help. But as I understand it, there is no list of these sites available. Once we start experimenting with bringing these in on motorways it will be a different matter. Of course the sites by motorways will have to be controlled much more rigorously owing to the nature of the road and the regulations that go with it.
Amendment agreed to.
Question proposed, That the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill.
