§ 71. Mr. Silkinasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that great hardship is caused to the travelling public of London through omnibuses, though not full, failing to stop at the official stopping places, particularly during the black-out; and whether he will make inquiries, with a view to this practice being stopped?
§ Captain WallaceThe London Passenger Transport Board have instructed their staff that buses must stop at all "compulsory" stops, and at "request" stops when there is accommodation available and passengers are waiting to be picked up. Any specific cases brought to the notice of the Board of refusal to stop in these circumstances are investigated and suitable action is taken.
§ Mr. SilkinIf I provide the right hon. and gallant Gentleman with some instances will he take the matter up?
§ Captain WallaceCertainly. I will take them up with the Board.
