HC Deb 07 July 1952 vol 503 cc891-2
39. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Minister of Transport when the Annual Report of the British Transport Commission for 1951, which was promised about three weeks after the issue of the financial and statistical statement, will be made available to hon. Members.

40. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Transport when he expects to publish the Report of the British Transport Commission for 1951.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Report will be laid on Friday next, and will be available to hon. Members about mid-day.

Mr. Callaghan

Will the Minister arrange to take the debate after we have had a reasonable chance of examining the Report?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As we have always made it plain that there would be a reasonable delay between the publication of the amending Bill and the Second Reading, the same naturally applies to the publication of the Report.
