HC Deb 01 August 1962 vol 664 c85W
53. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now accord a higher priority to improvement schemes on the A.30 and A.303 roads, in view of the high traffic density revealed throughout their length by the traffic census held in August, 1961.

Mr. Marples

The traffic census emphasised the high volume of holiday traffic on these roads. I am making as many improvements, including the important by-passes of Andover and Honiton, as the other, more urgent, demands upon the funds at my disposal will permit.
