HC Deb 14 December 1976 vol 922 c627W
Mr. David Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will place in the Library a copy of the postal questionnaire being sent to long-distance travellers, the numbers being so sent, the basis on which the recipients are selected, and the purpose for which the information is sought.

Mr. William Rodgers

Yes. Sixty thousand will be sent during 1976. Recipients are selected at random from electoral registers. Information is provided that would not otherwise be available on the extent of long distance travel by different modes.
