HC Deb 27 January 1970 vol 794 c289W
9. Mr. John Lee

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on the progress so far of the transfer of traffic from roads to railways following upon the Transport Act, 1968.

Mr. Mulley

I cannot say how much traffic was transferred from road to rail during 1969, but freightliner traffic increased by 45 per cent. during the year and there was also an increase in other rail freight, excluding coal.
