HC Deb 20 May 1946 vol 423 cc5-6
24. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Transport what control is exercised over controlled and hired vehicles of the Road Haulage Organisation to assure that no preference is given to goodwill traffic at the expense of traffic of higher priority or of efficient and economic operation

Mr. Barnes

The operation of all vehicles in the Road Haulage Organisation is controlled by unit controllers and area road haulage officers who act under the direct instructions of my Ministry. These instructions require traffic to be accepted and allocated according to its priority, and with due regard to efficient and economic operation.

Mr. W. Shepherd

Is the Minister aware that no goodwill is ever likely to be built up under the Road Haulage Organisation?

Mr. Barnes

No. I am not aware of that.
