§ 54. Mr. Pageasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will make a statement upon the expenditure incurred under his auspices during any convenient period upon the application of non-skid substances to road surfaces, the reduction in accidents which have resulted, and the estimated economic loss which the accidents thus avoided would have caused; and whether he will give a comparison of that expenditure with expenditure upon other road improvements in terms of accident reduction and economic saving.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe provision of a non-skid surface is an integral part of most road improvements, and it is not possible to isolate its cost or effects.
