HC Deb 01 July 1931 vol 254 c1270
36. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can inform the House when the one-clause Bill providing for the repeal of Sub-section (3) of Section 61 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, will be introduced?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The Bill has already been introduced in another place.

Mr. CAMPBELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman use every endeavour to expedite the passage of the Bill, bearing in mind that if it does not soon become law many thousands of children will not be able to go for their summer holidays?

Mr. MORRISON

We have that point in mind, and I understand there is a general desire among all parties concerned to co-operate towards that end, and I will do what I can to assist.

Mr. BATEY

Is the Title of the amending Bill wide enough to allow the House to discuss additions to it?

Mr. MORRISON

No, Sir, it is not; otherwise we should not get the Bill quickly enough.
