Written Question
A3: Tolworth
Wednesday 13th March 2019

Asked by: Lord Trefgarne (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the nature of the work currently in progress on the A3 Southbound at Tolworth; and when they expect it to be completed.

Answered by Baroness Sugg

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and delivered by Transport for London (TfL). The A3 southbound at Tolworth is the responsibility of TfL.

I understand that TfL regularly monitors its road infrastructure to ensure that it is safe for people to use and that a recent inspection of this section of the A3 found that parts of the crash barrier needed replacement due to damage from collisions and corrosion. For safety reasons, until the barrier can be replaced, TfL has had to restrict access to the near side lane. TfL is working closely with its suppliers who are manufacturing a replacement barrier. It will be installed in the coming weeks.

Written Question
Road Traffic Offences: Mobile Phones
Monday 22nd January 2018

Asked by: Lord Trefgarne (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they propose to clarify the criminal law relating to the use of mobile phones and similar devices by motorists.

Answered by Baroness Sugg

Government imposed tougher penalties last year for the offence of using a hand-held mobile phone while driving, and continues to keep the legislation under review.

The Department for Transport is currently consulting on an isolated amendment to the mobile phone offence to permit the use of hand-held and mobile communications devices as a means of performing remote control parking manoeuvres. The Department will consider changes to the regulations and to the Highway Code following that consultation.
