HC Deb 21 December 1972 vol 848 c440W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why he will not recommend the appointment of a Royal Commission to inquire into all matters pertaining to the speed-up of road traffic in general, and London and the major cities, in particular.

Mr. Peyton

The problems are local. They can more appropriately be dealt with by the responsible traffic and transport planning authorities than by a Royal Commission.
