asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is aware of a recent case at Birkenhead Magistrates' Court where a man was accused and found guilty of crossing the M53 motorway on foot; if he is aware that the police gave evidence that other people also walk across this motorway; and, in view of this evidence, if he will reconsider his decision not to improve the fencing.

Yes. I am aware of the events referred to and I am discussing them with the police.
