§ 64. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Gilesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make an interim statement to up date and summarise the Government's transport policy; and when he expects that the policy will be finalised.
§ Dr. GilbertI do not think I could usefully anticipate, at this stage, the state-204W ment which my right hon. Friend has promised to make after the Summer Recess on our ongoing review of transport policy.
§ Mr. Ronald Atkinsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment to what extent the Consultation Document on Transport is concerned with long-term transport planning.
§ Dr. GilbertThe consultation document is concerned mainly with issues which need attention in the short to medium term. It also, however, puts forward for public discussion a framework for the longer-term co-ordination of transport policy and planning.
