HC Deb 10 March 1969 vol 779 c201W
24. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Transport what steps he is taking to improve the roads to the South-West, in view of the additional traffic which will result from the railway supplementary charges to start this summer.

Mr. Carmichael

We do not accept that these surcharges will lead to any significant increase in road traffic and do not consider they justify changing the programme for improving the trunk roads to the South-West.
