HC Deb 16 June 1925 vol 185 cc272-3
30. Mr. ERSKINE

asked the Minister of Transport when the Report of the Advisory Committee on the Traffic Problem is likely to be issued?

Colonel ASHLEY

The London Traffic Act requires the Committee to make an annual Report of their proceedings to be laid before Parliament. This Report will not be available until next year. The Committee, however, make recommendations to me from time to time on matters which I have referred to them, and I take such action on their recommendations as I consider desirable.

Mr. ERSKINE

Does the right hon. Gentleman really mean that the Advisory Committee will make no report for 18 months from the time when they were appointed?

Colonel ASHLEY

It is in accordance with the Act.

Mr. ERSKINE

It is a bad Act.
