It might not have happened if I had not been in the Department but it is now happening. Excusing the pun, it will continue to roll as long as I am in the Department and I will keep it on track.

A couple of decisions have been made on safety barriers that the House will welcome, namely, the construction of any motorway will include the appropriate safety barrier. The work being done on the two-in-one roads will include an appropriate safety barrier. We have agreed to retrofit all existing motorways. Two thirds of that work is complete. We are progressing as quickly as possible and the National Roads Authority knows our views on the need to complete the safety barrier project.
