HC Deb 06 February 1979 vol 962 c128W
Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, and in what form, the standing advisory committee on trunk road assessment will present a report on its deliberations from time to time.

Mr. Horam

I understand that the committee hopes to make a progress report to my right hon. Friend within the next few weeks, and may report later in the year on this Department's revised methods of traffic forecasting and on their further development, including the regional highway traffic model; and on the development of a comprehensive framework for the appraisal of road schemes. My right hon. Friend has already indicated that he will publish any reports submitted to him.
