LYLEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether standing in public omnibuses is to be continued; if so, whether he will state the reason why it is not possible to put on adequate vehicles to permit all members of the public to obtain seats for which they have paid; and whether he will see that this concession to the companies, which was a War measure, is now withdrawn?
