HC Deb 27 January 1977 vol 924 cc716-7W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is: (a) the purpose, and (b) the total cost of roadside census teams now asking for the post code of car drivers being stopped.

Mr. Horam

The Secretary of State for Transport does not have any roadside census teams in operation at the present time. The proposal to obtain national information on road traffic was announced in April last year. A programme of roadside interviews was completed by November at a cost expected to be about £1 million.
