Commander Sir Archibald South byasked the Minister of Transport what omnibuses, in consequence of the user by the Milk Marketing Board of their premises at Thames Ditton, have been diverted from other districts to the relief of the local traffic; and from what district or districts?
§ The Minister of Transport (Captain Wallace)I am informed that the single deck motor omnibus services passing the Milk Marketing Board's premises at Thames Ditton have been maintained at pre-war strength and no buses have been transferred from other districts. The Board's premises are conveniently served by trolley bus service No. 602, and extra trolley buses are being run on this route to deal with the traffic; next month the service on this route during peak hours will run at eight-minute intervals instead of 10 minutes as at present.
Sir A. South byDoes the answer of my right hon. and gallant Friend mean that there has not been any congestion or interference with local traffic conditions by reason of the use of these premises by the Milk Marketing Board?
§ Captain WallaceThat is what I am informed.
