§ 4. Mr. McAdamasked the Minister of Transport what progress is being made in regard to the setting up of the Consultative Committees provided for under the Transport Act.
§ Mr. BarnesI have now received nominations from the representative bodies which I have consulted in connection with the establishment of the Central Transport Consultative Committee. I expect to be in a position in the very near future to announce the setting up of the Central Committee and also the names of the chairmen of the committees for Scotland and Wales.
§ Mr. McAdamWill my right hon. Friend speed up the appointment of these Committees in view of the fact that the British Transport Commission are already engaged in large schemes of reorganisation, and that the Consultative Committees ought to have a say in such reorganisation?
§ Mr. BarnesThe important thing, of course, is to get the right people.
