HC Deb 14 July 1954 vol 530 cc468-9
34. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he has now completed his consideration of proposals and suggestions, including those of the Thesiger Committee in regard to amendment of the law relating to conveyance of private parties upon special occasions; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Molson

I regret I am not in a position to add to what my right hon. Friend said in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Sedgefield (Mr. Slater) last Wednesday.

Mr. Nabarro

May we have a statement before Christmas, as this matter has now been going on for a couple of years? May I have an assurance that this is one more transport matter which will not be allowed to stagnate?

Mr. Molson

My right hon. Friend promised in the answer to which I have referred to introduce this legislation at the earliest opportunity which the Parliamentary time-table permits.
