§ 8. Mr. Peter Thorneycroftasked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of his proposal to abolish the Road Haulage Organisation, he intends to retain any powers under Regulation 73 (b); and, if so, for what purpose.
§ Mr. BarnesI propose to revoke the Road Transport of Goods Order, 1944, which is the only Order made under Defence Regulation 73B, as from the date when the Road Haulage Organisation comes to an end, and the arrangements with the Road Haulage Association come into operation. The Regulation itself will remain in force in case of any breakdown in those arrangements.
