HC Deb 21 October 1969 vol 788 cc926-7
8. Mr. Fred Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many Welsh local authorities have so far submitted traffic and transport plans in accordance with the request from the Welsh Office in February, 1968.

Mr. E. Rowlands

Five.

Mr. Evans

Does not my hon. Friend consider this to be a most disturbing situation? If plans are not submitted, how will Welsh local authorities deal with traffic problems of the future? Will he call the attention of Welsh local authorities to the urgent need for the submission of these plans to protect the future of their own people?

Mr. Rowlands

These plans are important and local authorities should make every endeavour to submit them as soon as possible. They were asked for them in February, 1968.
