Proceeding contribution from Hugh Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill.


London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill

The short answer is that I simply do not know, because I have not seen this roundabout. I am an amateur, not a traffic professional, and I think that even if I went there and had a look, I would not necessarily be sure that I would get it right. That is why we have agencies such as the Highways Agency to give us advice. That advice has been examined and tested by my hon. Friend the roads Minister, and he has written accordingly. I am afraid that I have no option—and would not take any other up—than to accept his judgment and advice. I am afraid that that is where we are. I accept that my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch does not like it, but I am afraid that that is the way it is going to happen.
