HC Deb 16 November 1933 vol 281 c1182

Lords Amendment: In page 45, line 14, leave out "2," and insert "3."

Mr. STANLEY

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

This Amendment was inserted in another place in order to increase the representation of the railway companies on the advisory council from two to three. It was felt that it would put too great a strain on their representatives if only two were appointed.

Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment," put, and agreed to,

Lords Amendment: In page 45, line 17, leave out "1," and insert "2."

Mr. STANLEY

I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."

The Amendment will increase the representation of coastwise shipping on the advisory council. It has been pointed out that coastwise shipping is of two different types. There are the regular services from port to port and the tramp services, which are available to go to any destination. On many occasions their interests may be completely in conflict; therefore, both points of view ought to be represented. On that ground the representation is proposed to be increased from one to two.

Sir S. CRIPPS

Has the hon. Member considered the case of the road tramp representation?

Mr. STANLEY

I think that would come under the head of "Pedestrians."

Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment," put, and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment, in page 47, line 6, agreed to.

The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.
