§ 61. Mr. Ernest Daviesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, in view of the fact that there will be about 12,500,000 road vehicles registered in the United Kingdom by 1969, on what estimated figure of such vehicles he is basing his plans for the provision of better roads.
§ Mr. WatkinsonVolume of traffic and its concentration are more significant factors than total number of vehicles registered. With this in mind the present basis of estimating traffic growth is under review. The standards at present employed are likely to be sufficient for some years to come.
