i Road transport and traffic congestion remain ell down the political agenda, according to the iteSt OeHavilland Survey of Britain's Padalentarians.
Last year MPs spent 12.1% of their time on the ealth service making it number one in the list of Nestminster's most topical subjects". By con'est, road transport and road congestion failed to lake it into the top 10, although railways are listed t number three, after immigration and asylum. "Road and motor" is also a long way after railways in the top six items listed in "Westminster's preferred mode of transport" .
FIA spokesman Geoff Dossetter says: "It reinforces the irony that, despite the comparatively small amount of traffic moved by rail, at Westminster, as well as in the national media, rail is still top dog and punches well above its weight. The contribution to the UK economy of road freight deserves to be higher up the agenda."
