HC Deb 26 June 1935 vol 303 c1114W
Mr. TURTON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that there are no omnibus facilities to and from the villages of Scawton, Old Byland, Cold Kirby, Hambleton and Sutton; that these villages are far from any railway, and that many hundreds of persons are desirous of visiting these villages in order to watch the gliding from Sutton Bank; and whether he will urge the traffic commissioners for the area to expedite the hearing of all applications for road-service licences that propose to serve these villages?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am informed by the traffic commissioners that there are local services to and from these villages and Thirsk on Mondays, which is market day, and Saturdays, and that there are at present no other applications before them for additional services to these places.
