33. Lieut.-Colonel Dowerasked the Minister of War Transport what steps are being taken to reduce the 20 per cent. empty running of vehicles operated by the Government's road haulage organisation.
§ Mr. BarnesThe Road Haulage Organisation is constantly on the watch for opportunities of avoiding empty running and thereby improving on its already good record in this respect.
Lieut.-Colonel DowerWhile I thank the Minister for his answer, I regret the use of the words "good record" because all the Members are not of the same manner of thinking.
