§ 37. Mr. David Priceasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the further substantial increase in the world prices for crude oil, what measures he proposes to ensure that the pattern of British transport is so arranged as to minimise the increasing cost of hydrocarbon fuels.
§ Mr. FowlerIt is changes in the price of fuel that will have the largest effect on patterns of travel. The Government are playing their part in backing both publicity and research designed to realise the savings that are possible. I believe that worthwhile savings will follow from more car sharing, especially by commuters. This is an important objective of the Bill currently before Parliament.
