§ 29. Mr. ChopeTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made for road traffic growth in Wales in 1998. [28427]
§ Mr. HainThe National Road Forecast (Great Britain) 1997 publication predicts that road traffic will grow between 0.65 per cent. and 2.79 per cent. during 1998. The average growth on trunk roads in Wales over recent years has tended to follow the higher prediction and I expect this to continue this year.
