§ 72. Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Transport whether, in order to reduce the number of road accidents due to skidding, his Department are investigating any new methods of road-surfacing, rubber or otherwise?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaYes, Sir, the fundamental aspects of the question are continuously examined at the Road Research Laboratory.
§ Mr. WatkinsMay I ask whether that covers the investigation of new methods of road surfacing instead of merely selecting from existing methods?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaYes, certainly. I would send the hon. Member a copy of the book on "Road Surface Resistance for Skidding." It is a lengthy volume, but it answers his question completely.
