HL Deb 03 June 1996 vol 572 c108WA
Lord Campbell of Croy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in future Green Papers and other public documents issued by the Department of Transport, they will explain that "national road traffic forecasts" and similar terms apply only to England in order to avoid confusion in the media and among the public.

Viscount Goschen

The Department's national road traffic forecasts apply to Great Britain. Forecasts used in the analysis of transport problems or road improvements are made for the affected area, and can overlap the borders of England, Scotland and Wales.
