90. Mr. A SHORT

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has now received the whole of the nominations for the constitution of the Roads Advisory Committee, and if he is aware that the delay in appointing this Committee is causing much discontent?

Sir E. GEDDES

Yes, Sir; I have now received the nominations and have appointed the Committee. I am circulating the names in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

  • Mr. F. Dent, County Councils Association.

Mr. GRITTEN

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether the motor representatives will be in the same largely preponderating majority as on the Lights Regulations Committee under the same Ministry?

Sir E. GEDDES

No; I do not think there is any undue representation of any interest, but perhaps my hon. Friend will wait until he sees the list?

Mr. SHORT

When will this Committee be called together?

Sir E. GEDDES

As soon as possible after they are appointed.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Will there be anybody on it representing the Cyclists' Touring Club?
