Road Safety Bill [HL]

That is all very well, but the problem has been going on for years. When we have local authorities where some of the members probably own land adjacent to motorways and they can get £1,000 per month for having a trailer with a sign on it, being sent a letter by the department saying, ““I hope that you’ll take that away””, is not going to solve the problem. We need much stronger action. I will be interested to see the result of the current initiative but we will return to it again and again to say, ““Please remove it””, when the farmers who are claiming poverty are receiving £1,000 per trailer per month, which is a good piece of revenue.
