HC Deb 21 July 1915 vol 73 c1496
56. Mr. PARTINGTON

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will consider the advisability of inviting representatives of the Highways Committee of the London County Council and the directors of the London General Omnibus Company to confer, under the chairmanship of a representative of his Department, with a view to securing the temporary co-operation between the two services, thereby releasing men of military age and avoiding unnecessary expenditure?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Long)

If I saw any indication that the bodies concerned were willing to enter into a conference, I should be prepared to give the hon. Member's suggestion my most careful consideration.
