§ 9. Mr. Danceasked the Minister of Transport whether he will inquire into the form of television traffic control operated from a central point in Munich, with a view to introducing a similar system in this country in congested areas.
§ Vice-Admiral Hughes HallettWe have studied the Munich system of television traffic control, and some ideas based on it will be incorporated in the West London area traffic control experiment.
§ Mr. DanceI thank my hon. and gallant Friend for that reply. If this scheme is to be tried out experimentally, would it be possible to try it out at the eastern approaches? Last week he told me that some form of computer experiment would take place at the western approaches, but the eastern approaches are in an appalling state of congestion. Would it not be better to try the scheme out at the eastern approaches and to compare the two?
§ Vice-Admiral Hughes HallettI will bear my hon. Friend's point in mind. Concerning the experiment going forward at the moment, I think that we should lose time if we were to change the area for which it was designated.
