§ 6. Mr. E. Johnsonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will give a general direction to the Transport Commission to advertise publicly for tenders for all work they are letting out to contractors.
§ Mr. WatkinsonNo, Sir.
§ Mr. JohnsonWill my right hon. Friend at least suggest to the Transport Commission that by advertising publicly the Commission might well receive advantageous tenders from new firms which do not have an opportunity of quoting under present conditions?
§ Mr. WatkinsonI will certainly look at that point. I thought my hon. Friend was perhaps on a different point and that he was anxious to make the Commission less commercial rather than more commercial. I am anxious to make it more commercial.
