Mr. T. MORRISasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the shortage of footpaths alongside main roads in Great Britain in the western counties and in Sussex; and whether he will make representations to the local authorities to make better provision for pedestrians?
Mr. STANLEYI am aware of the need for footpaths in various parts of the country, and I stressed the importance of adequate provision for pedestrians in a Circular addressed to highway authorities in February of this year, a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend.
