HC Deb 05 February 1959 vol 599 c123W
Mr. Strauss

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps are taken by his Department to ensure that the newest techniques for building major highways in the United States of America are made available to those responsible for building motorways in this country.

Mr. Watkinson

The latest methods of design and construction used in the U.S.A. and other countries are closely studied, their technical literature is available, and members of the engineering staff of my Department have made a number of visits abroad to gain knowledge at first hand. This information is also available to the local authority engineers.
