HC Deb 17 May 1985 vol 79 c250W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what respective priority he will give to (a) local residents and (b) through traffic when the problems of local people are identified in the assessment studies.

Mrs. Chalker

It would not be sensible for anyone to anticipate the findings of the consultants' reports. I have already said that we shall seek to achieve a balance between all the conflicting priorities.
