Mr. Mudd
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the latest traffic flow figures for all links in the motorway network where the flows are in excess of 80,000 vehicles per day.
Mr. Chope
The latest figures from the national traffic census are as follows. Apart from the M25, these are approximate estimates derived from a single 12-hour count per link undertaken some time between 1985 and 1990.
