§ 16. Mr. GARDNER (for Mr. GROVES)asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused to a large number of people by the withdrawal of the coach service previously operating between Beckton Road, Canning Town, and the sanatorium at Dagenham; and whether, as the cessation of such service will prevent the visits of relatives and friends to the inmates of the sanatorium, he will make representations to the London Passenger Transport Board to restore the service?
Mr. STANLEYThis matter has not previously been brought to my notice. The duty of providing an adequate system of passenger transport for the London Passenger Transport Area rests with the London Passenger Transport Board, to whom copies of the question and of this reply have been sent.
