HC Deb 17 June 1918 vol 107 cc8-41
7 and 9. Mr. GILBERT

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) whether he can now make any statement as to the action he has taken as regards the running of extra omnibuses in the Ilford district while the municipal tramway services have been curtailed at the request of the Board of Trade Tramway Committee; whether he proposes to stop this extra consumption of petrol by the omnibus company; (2) whether he is aware that the Croydon Corporation have reduced the tramway services in their district at the instance of the Tramway Committee set up by his Department in order to save coal, etc., and that the motor omnibus company have at once put on extra services of fifteen omnibuses on weekdays and fourteen on Sundays in the Croydon district; and whether he can take any steps to stop this competition with municipal services and the extra consumption of petrol involved in these extra omnibus services?

Sir A. STANLEY

The extra omnibuses referred to are part of the regular services of the omnibus company which are run during the summer months only, but, in view of the need to economise in the consumption of petrol, the omnibus company has been requested to withdraw these omnibuses.
