§ 42. Mr. Dribergasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the congestion being caused in London by the increased carrying by road of heavy loads that were formerly carried by river; and what steps he is taking to discourage this trend.
§ Mr. SwinglerWe have no evidence of a general transfer of traffic from the river on a scale to add substantially to road congestion in London but I am aware of the particular case my hon. Friend has in mind and we are looking into it.
