M6: Accidents

Asked by Sir Mark HendrickLabour (Co-op)Department for TransportTabled Answered 8 September 2025UIN 70318

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information her Department holds on the rate of people who were killed or seriously injured between junctions 31 and 33 of the M6 in the latest period for which data is available.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Safety is National Highways’ top priority and it regularly reviews the safety performance of routes in the North West region. National Highways will be undertaking a route safety study for the M6 this financial year, which it expects to complete by March 2026.

The information requested on killed and seriously injured rates is not readily available as National Highways does not routinely undertake this analysis at specific junctions.
