§ 58. Mr. MESSERasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that on the London omnibus services Nos. 29, 69, 124, and 129, only the NS type of omnibus is used; and will he, in view of the speed at which these vehicles have to travel in the Tottenham area, consider taking steps to have them replaced by a more modern type of vehicle?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Hore-Belisha)I have ascertained from the London Passenger Transport Board that replacement of the NS type of omnibus is being carried out at the minimum rate of 10 per week.
§ Mr. MESSERThe right hon. Gentleman gave me a reply some weeks ago, but will he see that some of these additional 10 vehicles per week get into the districts which are represented by the hon. Member for North Tottenham (Mr. R. C. Morrison) and myself?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAIf I gave a reply some weeks ago, then there have been 10 omnibuses per week since then.
§ Mr. MESSERYes, but none in Tottenham.
