§ 54. Mr. LYLEasked the Prime Minister whether he will, in view of the decontrol of the railways in August, take the fullest possible steps to ensure that this is carried out with the absolute minimum of friction among the interests affected, with the maximum of consideration for the difficult position of the wage-earner and with the utmost effort to avert any further trouble both to the State and to the community?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe conditions under which decontrol of the railways will take place in August next will be determined by the Bill which is shortly to be introduced, and I cannot anticipate its provisions.
