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
My hon. Friend is of course right. The Highways Agency has invested more than £100 million in new equipment for dealing with snow on the strategic highway network, as well as building a large strategic reserve of salt and grit. As I said earlier, clearly the question is not whether we can eliminate disruption when we get such snowfall in the UK. There will always be disruption. The question is whether there are sensible and proportionate measures that we could and should take which will minimise that disruption.
