§ 9. Mr. Ernest Daviesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will now state when he proposes to terminate the appointments of the members of the Road Haulage Disposal Board.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI am not at present in a position to make any statement on this matter.
§ Mr. DaviesWill the Minister tell us what further work the Road Haulage Disposal Board has to do, in view of the fact that there was no tender whatever for the parcels company, that the only tender for the meat organisation had to be rejected because it was fishy; and why, since the remaining vehicles up for disposal are very few in number, the Board is kept in existence?
§ Mr. WatkinsonI think that if the hon. Gentleman studies a little more carefully the duties which the Board has to do he will see that there are certain very important remaining duties which devolve upon it.
