§ Mr. Dodsworthasked the Minister of Transport if he will give an assurance that he will retain the standing advisory committee on trunk road assessment; and what plans he has for its work.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeMy right hon. Friend looks forward to receiving later this year the committee's reports on its two current major remits on the framework for assessment and on traffic forecasting. Thereafter, there may be no need for such concentrated work by the committee, and it may be appropriate to review its functions and composition.
