§ 12. Mr. HALL-CAINE (for Mr. HUTCHISON)asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the Tanganyika Government proposes to prohibit the carriage of goods by motor transport over any section of any road in the territory which runs parallel with any section of the railway; whether this is a policy which is being adopted generally in the British Colonies; and what is its justification?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThe Tanganyika Government has been advised that the existing legislation in that territory has not eliminated uneconomic motor competition with the railway, and the question of amending the existing legislation is under consideration. It is the policy to effect a co-ordination between road and rail transport.
