HC Deb 13 February 1957 vol 564 c175W
Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether, in view of the fact that a comprehensive solution to the urban traffic problems must include new roads and that the greatest benefits are likely to come from building such roads as urban motorways, he will reconsider his recent decision that at the moment the Government are not convinced that the high cost of such motorways is justified.

Mr. Watkinson

No final decision has been taken in this matter and the review of the national highway system which is being undertaken will include an examination of the need for, and the possibilities of, urban motorways.
