HC Deb 29 October 1945 vol 415 c196W
Viscountess Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for War when it is hoped to free those parts of dual roads which are at present occupied as parks for Service vehicles, in view of the growing risks due to increasing traffic on one-way roads now being used for two-way traffic.

Mr. Lawson

Arrangements have been made in consultation with the Ministry of War Transport, for roads which have been used during the latter part of the war as Vehicle Reception Depots to be released according to an orderly plan, the more important traffic routes, so far as possible, being freed first. Four roads have already been freed, and it is anticipated that by the end of the year, 19 more will have been given up. In some cases, however, it may not be possible to re-open the roads to traffic at once, repairs and reconstruction being necessary to make them serviceable and safe.
