HC Deb 19 May 1952 vol 501 cc4-5W
56. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Minister of Transport in view of the great increase since the war in lorry and omnibus road traffic and the further increase which will result from the Government's abandonment of the policy of unification of inland transport and the consequent further increase of congestion of traffic on the roads, what is his policy of future road development.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Whether or not any growth in road transport results from the Government proposals, road improvements will be carried out to the extent that general economic conditions in this country permit.
