HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 cc270-1W
95. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport if she is aware that the morning and evening congestion on British roads in and around cities is largely caused by motor cars containing only one motorist going to and from business, and that this congestion could be reduced by such motorists each carrying one or more passengers; and if she will introduce legislation to bring this about.

Mr. Swingler

It would not be practicable to deal with this problem by legislation. The real answer lies in the improvement of public transport.
