HC Deb 28 July 1937 vol 326 cc3120-1W
Colonel Goodman

asked the Minister of Transport whether the air survey of the Great North Road has led him to any conclusions as to the value of such surveys in planning road improvements; and whether he proposes to make similar surveys of other trunk roads?

Mr. Burgin

I am satisfied that air surveys are of undoubted value for certain purposes, for example, in regard to the question whether a town should be by-passed or not. On the other hand, road surveys are essential for other purposes. I shall continue to use both methods as the circumstances warrant.
