§ No moneys provided by this Act shall be employed to acquire road haulage undertakings.—[Mr. Webster.]
§ Brought up, and read the First time.
§ Mr. WebsterI beg to move, That the Clause be read a Second time.
I will be brief, because the Government supporters are wilting and it is practically impossible to get a logical answer from the Government Front Bench because both hon. Gentlemen are exhausted and punchdrunk.
When the Prime Minister went to Washington, he said that, if the Government did not nationalise road haulage this time, they would take the lid off the already nationalised B.R.S. The Minister of State said that the taking over would be on commercial terms, by which he meant the doubling of excise duty, three increases of fuel tax, the removal of investment grants, the imposition of special alterations which loaded the thing against the private haulier, the possibility of such a special authorisation, if they got it, being revoked, and the addition of an extra£8 for an eighttonner, plus the abnormal road tax. We will do nothing to help the Government take over road haulage on those loaded terms, which is the reason for the Clause.
§ Mr. SwinglerI am not sure who is wilting, but I have already answered this in debates on other Amendments, by saying that we favour the expansion of public enterprise in road haulage and the other diversified activities of the T.H.C. I think that we should say no more, but put the matter to the vote.
§ Mr. BessellI support the hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare (Mr. Webster). We have received no concession or indication from the Government today that they are prepared even to consider the reasonable and reasoned Amendments of this side. This disturbs me, because, whenever a Government bring in a large Bill and a connected smaller one—this Bill is a corollary to the Transport Bill—they normally undertake at least to consider some of the Amendments. The Government have brought down an iron curtain which is impossible to penetrate even to the extent of their undertaking to consider our arguments. In circumstances such as these, I trust that the Opposition will press the Amendment to a Division.

§ Bill reported, without Amendment.
1097§ Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Bill be now read the Third time.
§ 10.55 p.m.
§ Sir Harmar NichollsOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I think that this is the first time under the new rules that a Motion has appeared on the Order Paper on a Third Reading, That the Question be not put forthwith. To speed proceedings, may I say that I hope that if such a Motion appears again on the Order Paper it will not be ignored. On this occasion it may be right not to extend the proceedings after the debate has gone on fully in Committee, but under the new rules, if we put down a Motion to have a Bill discussed on Third Reading, we should examine the Bill further in the actual form in which it leaves the Committee.
§ Mr. SpeakerI am sure that the House will note, and the hon. Member's side of the House will especially note, what the hon. Member has said.
§ 10.56 p.m.
§ Mr. HeseltineIt is interesting that no member of the Cabinet has been present to listen to the debate until the last few minutes. If I were a member of the Cabinet, and we were asked to extend public borrowing by £70 million at a time such as this in the economic circumstances of the country, I would not have come to the House for this debate, but it is extraordinary that we should not have had a member of the Cabinet present until this time and that the Minister of Transport has not been present throughout Committee stage.
It is also extraordinary that, despite most detailed probing of Ministers, they have not given a single indication of the
§ facts about Thos. Cook. This was a remarkable opportunity thrown away by hon. Members opposite to prove in detail the triumphs of the Transport Holding Company to which they have referred. They could have put before the House in great detail all the successes of which we have heard so much, but all they have been content to do has been to assert that there have been successes and not to justify the statement by facts.
§ We are extending the public sector by £70 million. The Bill reveals clearly the real motives behind the Prime Minister's continual promise to reduce public expenditure. The Bill reveals that his promise is no more than one more politically expedient promise, made today and forgotten tomorrow.
§ 10.58 p.m.
§ Mr. SwinglerI greatly regret that right up to the last stages of the Bill Opposition spokesmen have been inaccurate. Some of my right hon. Friends in the Cabinet have been present in the course of the proceedings, including my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
The Opposition have had a very full opportunity to attack the Bill up to the last minute. We come back to the last point which divides the House. It is that we are in favour of the extension of public enterprise in transport. I am glad that this Bill provides a means of extending public enterprise in transport which the country very much needs, and I heartily commend it to the House.
§ Question put, That the Bill be now read the Third time:—
