§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered representations that the public inquiry by the Charges (Railway Control) Consultative Committee, which is to be opened on 26th August, should be postponed for two months in view of the shortness of notice to the public and to give organisations and individuals adequate time to prepare evidence for submission to the Committee on the matters within its terms of reference; and whether he is prepared to accede to the request for postponement?
§ Sir J. ReithThe matter is now in the hands of the Consultative Committee, to whom any application for postponement of the hearing or for extended time to prepare a case should be addressed in the ordinary way.
