§ Mr. Ernest Daviesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the progress made by the European Conference 133W of Ministers of Transport in the preparation of a European Highway Code, as recommended by the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe in Resolution 138, 1957.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe Assembly of the Council of Europe drew attention to the fact that rules and regulations for road traffic still differ considerably from one country to another and proposed that a European Highway Code should be prepared in order to bring about greater unification. The Economic Commission for Europe has undertaken the preparatory work. I am unable to say when it will be completed.
