HC Deb 17 May 1978 vol 950 c181W
Mr. Welsh

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what studies or reports he has sponsored on traffic forecasting and appraisal of trunk road or motorway schemes in Scotland.

Mr. McElhone

Studies of methods of forecasting are carried out by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory, which has a branch in Scotland, and my right hon. Friend, in considering schemes, bears in mind the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Trunk Road Assessment in England, so far as they are relevant.
