HC Deb 31 October 1979 vol 972 cc546-7W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport what progress has been made with the implementation of the regional highway traffic model; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Much of the material collected and developed as part of the regional highway traffic model project is already being used extensively by the Department and has been made available to local authorities. The future role in scheme assessment of the mathematical models developed as part of the project is being considered by the Department, in conjunction with the standing advisory committee on trunk road assessment. I understand that the committee hopes to report on this by the end of the year.
