Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 19 December to Question 109583, on Motorways whether his Department collects data on response times to each incident in which a vehicle is stranded in a live lane on All Lane Running Motorways.

National Highways provides the Department with a monthly summary of traffic officer attendance time data. This covers, for all incident types, the time from when we are first made aware of an incident, to when a traffic officer arrives at the incident on all lane running smart motorways where emergency areas are more than a mile apart.

The average response time in November was 9 minutes and 22 seconds.
