asked the Secretary of State for Transport why his Department has not yet approved the proposal of Surrey County Council, supported by the Ash Parish Council, for a pedestrian crossing on the A323 Aldershot-Guildford road at Ash Street, Ash, as part of the Council's 1977–78 programme.

The county council has been informed that the volume of traffic and the number of pedestrians wishing to cross at this site do not justify the provision of a Pelican crossing.
