HC Deb 16 June 1965 vol 714 c72W
59. Mr. G. R. Strauss

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give instructions that in future in all official statements emanating from his Department the description double road should be used in place of dual-carriageway.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. The term dual-carriageway has been in common use for many years. Its meaning is well known. The use of the term double road could cause confusion.
