§ 38. Viscount CURZONasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the threat of the transport workers not to carry any excess passengers in motor omnibuses in order to enforce certain claims; whether, in view of the hardship that would be caused to the public if this threat is carried out the Government will take immediate action to legalise the carrying of excess passengers?
§ The SECRETARY OF STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Shortt)My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. My attention has been called to the matter; but I am advised that it would not be advisable at this juncture to alter the Regulations which have been in force during the War.
