HC Deb 08 July 1959 vol 608 cc130-1W
64. Mr. Peyton

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what advice he is giving to urban and county highway authorities with regard to the appointment of traffic engineers in order to secure better traffic movement and greater safety in their areas.

Mr. Watkinson

A memorandum on the importance of developing up-to-date traffic engineering techniques is about to be circulated by my Ministry to the associations representing county, municipal and urban authorities. I hope that this will stimulate interest in traffic engineering and will lead to the increased employment of trained traffic engineers on the staffs of highway authorities.
