HC Deb 14 September 1931 vol 256 c525W
Dr. PETERS

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the need for economy, he will take steps to cut down the expense of administering the Road Traffic Act, both to the State and to applicants for licences, with their wit- nesses; and whether he will give instructions to the traffic commissioners to arrange their sittings so as to avoid expense waste of time in the interests of the applicants and of economy?

Mr. PYRUS

The expenses incurred by my Department and by the traffic com- missioners in connection with the administration of Part IV of the Road Traffic Act. will continue to be subject to close and constant review in the interests of economy, and I am sure that the traffic commissioners will do everything they reasonably can to obviate unnecessary expense on the part of applicants.
