§ 21. Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEYasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the unnecessary duplication of motor-omnibus services which exists on the Aberdeen-Deeside and Aberdeen-Donside routes; and whether, in view of the fact that the local omnibuses can deal adequately with the traffic, he will take steps to secure the withdrawal of Alexander's omnibuses from the services to Upper Deeside and Upper Donside?
Mr. STANLEYThe licensing of road passenger services is a matter for the Traffic Commissioners set up under the Road Traffic Act, 1930, and I have no power to intervene except on an appeal by a person so entitled under Section 81 of that Act.
§ Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEYIs any record kept of the number of people using these omnibuses?
