Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport Innovation Fund.


Transport Innovation Fund

There are some 32 million cars on the UK’s roads, and I do not know how on earth we would get 100 million cars on them. I would be surprised if the hon. Gentleman runs around his constituency promising to fill the roads to the point of gridlock, because that would not make any sense. If the hon. Gentleman was asking about the management of roads and ensuring the free flow of traffic, he may be aware that we are about to introduce a measure similar to one used in the United States, on the M42 in the west midlands—which is not a million miles away from the area that he represents.
