§ 42. Mr. Nabarroasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction of, and in- 1282 convenience to, all ranks of the Royal Air Force stationed at Bridgnorth, Salop, arising from the decision of the West Midlands Licensing Authority to discontinue permits for J. T. Whittle and Sons Limited, of Kidderminster, to operate their motor coaches for conveyance of private parties of Royal Air Force personnel, proceeding on furlough and for other recreational purposes from and to the Royal Air Force station at Bridgnorth; and in view of the fact that the Royal Air Force personnel at this station cannot take full advantage of leave facilities in the absence of such coach facilities, and are denied freedom of choice in travelling arrangements and the most economic means of transport, whether he will make representations to the licensing authority for resumption of such motor coach services under licence or permit of the licensing authority.
Mr. WardAs an appeal against the decision of the licensing authority has been lodged, this matter is sub judice.
§ Mr. NabarroThis is preposterous. What are we, on this side of the House, doing——
§ Mr. SpeakerWe have been told that the matter is sub judice, and, therefore, it cannot be discussed here.
