HC Deb 01 March 1920 vol 126 cc8-9
21. Viscount CURZON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can place the Report of General Maybury's Committee at the disposal of Members of the House of Commons?

Mr. NEAL

Sir Henry Maybury is Chairman of two Departmental Committees appointed to consider and report respectively on (1) lights on road vehicles, and (2) the taxation and regulation of road vehicles. The first of these Committees has presented an Interim Report; the second has not yet reported. I am informed that a further Interim Report by the Committee on lights may be expected at a very early date, and the Minister will then give favourable consideration to the question of publishing both Reports.

Mr. BILLING

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether it is proposed to give the House an opportunity of debating this question before issuing any Regulations?

Mr. NEAL

That will receive consideration.
