I certainly agree with my hon. Friend. He will know that as a result of that meeting I have asked the Highways Agency to conduct a review of the junction’s safety record over the past few years and keep an eye on it over the next six months, and I have agreed to meet him to discuss the matter in the second half of next year.
Mr Brian H. Donohoe (Central Ayrshire) (Lab)
One way in which congestion could be greatly reduced would be by having a dedicated police service for the highways? Does the Minister agree?
Stephen Hammond
The hon. Gentleman will know that there is already a police service that tackles that—the traffic police—and there are also Highways Agency officers who help with accidents.
