§ 65. Major Guy Lloydasked the Minister of Transport when the transport users' consultative Committees provided for under the Transport Act, are to be set up.
§ Mr. BarnesI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Enfield (Mr. Ernest Davies) on 8th March.
§ Mr. Ernest DaviesDoes my right hon. Friend realise the great urgency about appointing consultative committees in view of Ministerial interpretations of their responsibility to Parliament for answering questions; and the difficulty which consequently exists regarding the making of representations by Members?
§ Mr. BarnesI am well aware of the need for these consultative committees, and, as I have indicated, the matter is being pursued as rapidly as possible.
