§ 90. Sir G. FOXasked the Minister of Transport whether he has now received replies to the questionnaire which he issued to horse-using firms in London in regard to his proposals to reduce further the facilities for such transport; and how many of these replies indicated hostility to his restriction scheme?
§ 93. Sir JOSEPH NALLasked the Minister of Transport whether, in consequence of the protests which he has received, it is still intended to introduce in the near future any regulations putting further difficulties in the way of users of horse transport in London; and, if so, when he intends to submit such regulations to the London Traffic Advisory Board?
Captain HUDSONThe replies to the questionnaire are not yet complete. My 1094 right hon. Friend has already given an assurance that before coming to any conclusion he will give the closest consideration to any representations which are received.
§ Sir PERCY HARRISIn considering the representations, will the hon. and gallant Gentleman have consideration for the large number of men who are employed as drivers of horses and who are suffering at present from a large amount of unemployment?
