HC Deb 27 June 1947 vol 439 c837

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Mr. Neill

I would like to refer to the point raised by the hon. Member opposite about the Belfast Corporation and the Government of Northern Ireland having come to an agreement that their transport system will not be nationalised. That is not so. The undertaking given to the Belfast Corporation was that, if the Government took over the transport system of the Belfast Corporation, it would be by agreement, and that is the only point in it. The hon. Member for West Belfast (Mr. J. Beattie) is not correct in what he said.

Question put, and agreed to.

Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.
