HC Deb 22 July 1919 vol 118 c1155
71. Mr. HASLAM

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the serious delay and losses incurred in the collection of empties; and will he consider the desirability of using motor lorries which may not now be required for Army purposes to relieve the congestion of goods traffic and for the collection and distribution of goods?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

With regard to the first part of this question, I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer given yesterday to a somewhat similar question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for Westbury. Steps have already been taken in the direction indicated in the second part of the question.
