HC Deb 02 August 1961 vol 645 cc171-2W
59. Mr. Marquand

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the need to improve productivity and increase exports, he will revise his forward plans for road construction so as to give a higher priority to the building of roads which will facilitate the movement of workers, materials and finished products to and from the industrial undertakings and the docks of Tees-side.

Mr. Marples

I already give priority to the needs of industrial and port traffic. My ourrent road programme includes some schemes on Tees-side and I shall continue to have regard to the needs of the area in the future.
