§ 34. Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has received the report of a study group on transport under the chairmanship of the hon. Member for Nuneaton, a copy of which has been sent to him; and whether he will make a statement on his policy towards its recommendations.
§ Mr. CroslandI warmly welcome this valuable report of the study group of which my hon. friend was chairman, and with which both I and my right hon. Friend the Minister for Transport were associated when we were in opposition. Its publication is particularly opportune at a time when transport policy is under active discussion both amongst the public and within Government. We shall study the conclusions of the report with great care, giving priority to those which would not require major institutional change.
