§
The following Notice of Motion stood upon the Paper in the name of the Minister of Transport (Colonel ASHLEY):—
That it be an Instruction to all Committees to which Bills containing provisions restricting competition with road transport services provided or to be provided by the promoters, or prejudicing the impartial exercise by a licensing authority or their functions with regard to the issue of licences to ply for hire with omnibuses, have been or may be referred during the present Session, that they do leave out such provisions as aforesaid.
§ Mr. SPEAKERWith regard to this Notice of Motion in the name of the Minister of Transport, I have been able to consider it now that it has been put into intelligible English—which yesterday it was not, owing to an error in printing—but I should not like it to be moved to-day until I have considered further the question whether it is really in order as an Instruction or not.
