HC Deb 05 April 1932 vol 264 c17
32. Mr. BROCKLEBANK

asked the Prime Minister what was his answer to the deputation of the Executives of the three Railway Unions which recommended the initiation of legislation for a public transport undertaking in the country on the lines of the London Passenger Transport Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER

I presume my hon. Friend is referring to the deputation which I received on the 19th May, 1931. As was stated at the time, an undertaking was given that the views submitted by the Executives of the Railway Unions would be given consideration. My hon. Friend the Minister of Transport is shortly receiving a further deputation from representatives of the three Railway Unions on the subject of Railway Organisation and kindred matters.

Sir F. HALL

Would it not be a great deal better if this Bill were dropped altogether?
