HC Deb 27 October 1971 vol 823 cc334-5W
84. Mr. Roderick

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what study he has made of the effect of urban motorways on the extent of use of cars in city centres.

Mr. Peter Walker

The use of cars in city centres and urban areas generally depends on a wide variety of factors of which motorways are but one. We are encouraging urban authorities to carry out comprehensive studies of the transportation problems of their areas.
