§ 33. Mr. Gerald Williamsasked the Minister of Transport if, during the harvest season, he will permit a farm tractor to draw two laden trailers provided a speed limit of five miles per hour is not exceeded.
§ The Minister of Transport (Mr. Barnes)I have no power to grant such a concession.
§ Mr. WilliamsWill the Minister bear in mind that it would be an enormous advantage to the farming community during hay making and the corn harvest for a tractor to be able to draw two trailers? If he has no power at the moment will he get that power before next season?
§ Mr. BarnesI have no information to show that this is a widespread demand. There is no possibility of bringing in legislation before next season, but this is one of the matters to be borne in mind when amendment of the Road Traffic Acts is considered.
