THE • Government has a. slight case. of
. "traffic congestion " on ,:its The Road Traffic Bill is 'waiting to go ifito .committee, but the slow=moving Transport Bill is keeping itout, writes our political correspondent.
It was hoped that the Traffic Bill: which has been through. the Lords, would follow the Transport Bill into _Commons. Committee E.

weather of the Transport -It would be a bold man who suggested it would be ready for reporting and third ;reading on. thefloor ofthe Commons by Easter.
Despite the gingering-up process of holding three. meetings a week, it has still a long and contentious way to go before it is ready for the Lords.
