HC Deb 06 April 1933 vol 276 c1901
44. Sir ARTHUR STEEL-MAITLAND

asked the Minister of Transport whether it is proposed to introduce legislation in connection with the recommendations of the Salter report; and, if so, at what date?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

The Government have already announced their intention of introducing a Bill before Easter, and it will be available to hon. Members in the course of the next few days.

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

In view of the growing feeling that the recommendations are open to very serious question, cannot my hon. and gallant Friend arrange for a day's discussion on the subject before legislation is introduced?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

No, I think there will be plenty of opportunity of discussion when legislation is introduced.
