§ 34. Mr. Luceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he hopes to complete his experiments relating to the improvement of rural transport.
§ Mr. MarksThe experiments will begin as soon as feasible when the necessary machinery is established. Completion dates will depend on the nature of the problems identified in the selected areas and the solutions tried out. I envisage that experiments might take place over a period of around two years.
