§ 63. Mr. Goodhartasked the Minister of Transport what action he proposes to take to increase the number of qualified traffic engineers in this country.
§ Mr. MarplesBetter career prospects and more training facilities are the key to increasing the supply of traffic engineers. I am seeking the co-operation of highway and local authorities in widening the field of employment of these experts. I am glad to observe that the numbers of post-graduate courses and fellowships at universities has recently been notably increased and that professional institutions are offering diplomas in this subject; this should stimulate more courses at technical colleges.
