HC Deb 25 January 1967 vol 739 c268W
86. Mr. Wilkins

asked the Minister of Transport whether, as a matter of priority, she will initiate schemes to improve the traffic-flow on the A38 at Highbridge, Taunton and Exeter in time to relieve the serious congestion and traffic-jams experienced at these points at the peak of summer tourism.

Mr. Swingler

We are doing all we can to see that such measures as can be introduced to ease the flow of holiday traffic will be in operation in time. But only the long term improvements we are planning can really solve the problems in Highbridge, Taunton and Exeter.
