§ 27. Captain SOTHERON-ESTCOURTasked the Minister of Transport whether he has investigated and, if so, with what result the effect of road motor-transport upon the water-carriage of goods; and whether he will consider attaching to the Rail-Road Conference a representative of the interests engaged in the water-carriage of goods?
§ Mr. PYBUSI have decided to limit the personnel of the Committee in the first place to representatives of the interests immediately concerned in the operation of goods transport by rail and by road. My hon. and gallant Friend may rest assured, however, that I shall not come to any conclusions upon the findings and recommendations of the Committee without first giving those engaged in transport by water and other important interests an opportunity of expressing their views.
