HC Deb 06 July 1955 vol 543 c1112
24. Captain Pilkington

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what estimate he has made of the wastage to the community resulting from the present road congestion.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Very large.

Captain Pilkington

In view of the fact that it is very large, does my right hon. Friend not think that he ought to expand his present plans and expedite them?

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

That is a fascinatingly interesting question, but it does not arise out of this Question.
