To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what sanctions have been applied to highways authorities found to be in breach of the duty to ensure the expeditious movement of traffic under the Traffic Management Act 2004. (294708)

I refer the hon. Member to the answer of 16 September 2009, Official Report, column 2281W, which informed her that no intervention notices under section 20 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 have been issued. Therefore, the associated intervention powers provided by that Act have not been applied to highway authorities.
