§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that congestion of traffic on British roads can be greatly reduced by eliminating motor cars with the drivers as the sole occupant ; how many such sole drivers use 83W British roads ; and if he will take steps to reduce their number.
§ Mr. MulleyThere is no information available about the number of cars using British roads with the driver as sole occupant. While I accept that the reduction of the number of vehicles in congested areas is desirable, it would not be practicable to introduce general legislation against the sole occupancy of cars.
