§ 66. Viscount CURZONasked the Minister of Transport whether the Ministry of Transport propose to make any fresh regulation affecting the use or construction of motor- chars-à-banc before the commencement of the coming season; and, if so, whether Parliament will have an opportunity of considering them before they are finally approved.
§ Sir E. GEDDESIt is not proposed to make any fresh regulations affecting the use or construction of motor chars-à-banc in particular in the near future. As my Noble Friend is aware, the Minister of Transport has certain powers under Section 7 (4) of the Roads Act, 1920, to prohibit or restrict the use of vehicles of any specified class on any specified highway, on the application of the County Council.
§ Viscount CURZONWill the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that he will give ample notice of any regulations that he proposes to make under the Order, so that all concerned may know in plenty of time?
§ Sir E. GEDDESI shall do whatever I am obliged to do by law, and with every consideration for my Noble and gallant Friend.
