Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 December 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on Winter Weather.


Winter Weather

Most of the strategic road network across the country has been kept open, and most of it is open today. Some strategic roads have been closed, particularly on higher ground, either because of exceptionally heavy and drifting snow or because they have been blocked by accidents or abandoned vehicles. Individual decisions will have been made by the Highways Agency or, in some cases, by the police. I will write to my hon. Friend and tell him precisely the reason for the A5 closure.
