23. Lieut.-Colonel Dowerasked the Minister of War Transport if he will define the term "long-distance road services", for the purposes of the Government's policy of nationalisation.
§ Mr. BarnesI should prefer before making any statement to give the interests concerned an opportunity for 1890 further discussion in order that we may reach a workable line of demarcation between long and short distance road services.
Lieut.-Colonel DowerWill the Minister have early consultations as, since his statement, there has been a great deal of anxiety caused to many small operators?
§ Mr. BarnesIt can be as early as they like, as far as I am concerned.
