HC Deb 30 May 1968 vol 765 cc274-5W
Mr. Alison

asked the Minister of Transport what special arrangements he has made to regulate, or obviate the possibility of, severe traffic congestion on the A64 trunk road at Tadcaster during the Whitsun holiday period.

Mr. Bob Brown

None. We rely on the Chief Constable of the West Riding to do everything possible to keep traffic congestion to the minimum.

Mr. Alison

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will give instructions for a survey to be made, both statistical and photographic, of the extent of traffic delays during the Whitsun holiday period at the traffic bottleneck at Tadcaster on the A64 trunk road.

Mr. Bob Brown

No. The seriousness of traffic congestion at this point is well known and plans to construct a bypass of Tadcaster have already been announced.
