§ Mr. Silvesterasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he intends to revise the forecasts of road traffic growth released in July 1980.
§ Mrs. ChalkerYes. In the light of trends in traffic growth and economic factors, the national road traffic forecasts of 1980 have been revised. I am issuing the new set of figures today and have placed copies in the Library. The new forecasts show increases over the next 30 years in the overall rate of traffic growth previously forecast.
