HC Deb 15 February 1934 vol 285 c2112W
Colonel MASON

asked the Minister of Transport, if, in view of his refusal to accede to the appeal made by Motor Coaches, Limited, on 12th October last, because of their failure on that occasion to show different circumstances from those considered by the inspector at the inquiry on the previous appeal on 29th May and 1st June, 1933, he will publish the Report and recommendation of the inspector based upon that inquiry in May and June, so that these applicants for licences may know upon what circumstances and matters the inspector did report to the Minister of Transport?

Mr. STANLEY

I shall be glad to afford to any party facilities for inspecting the verbatim reports of the inquiry proceedings on 29th May and 1st June, 1933, which were before me when I gave my decision. It was, however, only in regard to inquiries held after 1st October, 1933, that I undertook to publish the recommendations of inspectors, and I am not prepared to treat exceptionally the reports of particular inquiries held before that date.
