§ 73. Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the Minister of Transport what study she has made of the Automobile Association's survey, Parking: Who Pays?, a copy of which has been sent to her; and what steps she intends to take to help safeguard the interests of those who have business premises near town centres, which are becoming increasingly neglected owing to parking difficulties.
§ Mr. SwinglerWe welcome the survey commissioned by the Automobile Association both for the factual information which has been assembled and as a contribution to the discussion or the formulation of comprehensive parking policies in our cities. It is our general purpose to reduce congestion in our cities by relating the volume of traffic to the capacity of the streets, by the formulation of comprehensive parking policies by local authorities, and by the maintenance of good public transport services.
