§ 76. Brigadier-General SURTEESasked the Secretary of State for the Homo Department whether he will consider the desirability of giving instructions to the police, when issuing licences to drivers of vehicles plying for hire, to make it a condition that they shall not cease work or take any action which will seriously in commode the public without due and sufficient notice, or be parties to combined action seriously injuring the well-being of the travelling public; and if he will insist that the police shall have power to immediately withdraw drivers' 2388 and other licences when it has been made clear that they are indirectly being used as weapons to coerce the travelling public?
§ Mr. SHORTTI do not think it would be practicable to adopt either of the courses suggested.
