asked the Secretary of State for Transport what action has been taken during the last five years to improve road safety at the Anston and at the Todwick crossroads on the A57.

At both junctions the carriageway has been resurfaced and the carriageway markings improved. Additionally, at the Anston crossroads street lighting has been provided, direction signs have been resited and a 40 m.p.h. speed limit has been imposed.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many accidents occurred and how many persons were killed or injured on or adjacent to the Todwick and to the Anston crossroads on the A57 during each of the last five years.

The information requested is as follows: Vehicle Licensing Centre in Swansea between 29th November and 10th January.

I cannot say; but I have no reason to assume that there will be any difficulty over them.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what work was done by staff who should have been processing applications for the transfer of cherished number plates from the date when unofficial strike action was taken and 29th November; and how much they were paid in that period.

They worked full time on other vehicle registration and licensing tasks and were, therefore, paid their normal salaries.
