§ Sir H. Harrisonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what he estimates the growth in the volume of traffic using the main Ipswich-Norwich road to have been since 1966; and how he anticipates entry into the Common Market will affect the growth of traffic on this road during the next five years;
(2) what he estimates the growth in the volume of traffic using the Al2 road from Ipswich to Great Yarmouth to have been since 1966; and how he anticipates entry into the Common Market will affect the growth of traffic on this road during the next five years.
§ Mr. PeytonOn Al2 between Ipswich and Great Yarmouth, traffic growth since 1965 has not been uniform but has varied on different sections from 9 per cent. to 20 per cent. Likewise on the A140 between Ipswich and Norwich: since 1966–67 the range has been from a reduction of 19 per cent. to an increase of 30 per cent.
EEC entry is expected to have a limited effect on future traffic growth.
