§ 11. Mr. Parrisasked the Minister of Transport if he will take further steps to publicise the car-sharing proposals contained in the Transport Bill.
§ Mr. FowlerThe leaflets and posters that we have distributed have had an enthusiastic response. Great interest is being shown both by local newspapers and local radio. There has also been an 1271 excellent response from employers and voluntary organisations, with whom I am in close touch. I am now considering building on this with a further publicity campaign in the new year.
§ Mr. ParrisAs I am reassured by that answer, I have no further question.
§ Mr. MoateIs my right hon. Friend aware that in one of the recent radio advertisements inviting people to write in for these leaflets, half the radio time was taken up by asking them to write to the Department of Transport Publicity Stores, Building 3, Victoria Road, South Ruislip, Middlesex HA4 ONZ? Would it be possible to produce a longer address, to ensure that any would-be car user is guaranteed to get writer's cramp?
§ Mr. FowlerMy hon. Friend has put his finger on a defect in our campaign which I confess I did not know about. I shall follow it up, and I should be most surprised if we could not improve on it.
