HC Deb 17 March 1932 vol 263 c447
45. Mr. PARKINSON

asked the Prime Minister when it is proposed to proceed with the London Passenger Transport Bill?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Mr. PARKINSON

If I repeat the Question when the House reassembles after Easter, will the sight hon. Gentleman be able to give a reply?

The PRIME MINISTER

I shall be very glad. In fact, I intend to make an announcement as soon as possible. Negotiations are proceeding.

Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALL

Is it the intention to proceed with the Bill introduced last year, or is it the intention of the Government, on the other hand, to introduce a new Bill altogether?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which I gave to that question some weeks ago.
