HC Deb 15 December 1937 vol 330 cc1159-60
52. Mr. Graham White

asked the Minister of Transport what steps have been taken to prepare lists of the available types of road transport, or to organise local or regional committees to deal with them in case, in the event of national emergency, there should be need to mobilise the road transport system of the country?

The Minister of Transport (Mr. Burgin)

I can assure the hon. Member that the importance of the matter to which he refers is fully appreciated, and that it has had, and is receiving, close consideration.

Mr. White

Is this also one of the matters within the purview of the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence?
