HC Deb 31 July 1957 vol 574 c184W
50. Mr. E. Johnson

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the survey he is having made of week-end road traffic from London to seaside resorts can be extended to include routes from Manchester to resorts on the west coast of Lancashire.

Mr. Watkinson

I think we had first better see how we get on with the current inquiry.

77. Mr. Teeling

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will make a statement on the progress made with temporary measures to deal with week-end congestion on roads from London to seaside resorts.

Mr. Watkinson

I think excellent progress has been made. With the collaboration of local authorities, the police and the motoring associations, Mr. Samuels has made suggestions for improving some of the worst week-end traffic bottlenecks in Kent, Surrey and Sussex. I hope that several of these will be in operation for August Bank Holiday.
