§ Mr. Muffasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will consider arranging for the running of tramcars and motor-omnibuses in Hull one hour later during the operation of double summer time?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerMy Noble Friend has given careful consideration to the later running of road passenger transport services during the operation of double summer time. Unfortunately, the need to economise in the use of imported fuel and rubber, and therefore, to avoid unnecessary travel, is as great as ever, and it is, in consequence, impossible to relax the restrictions which we have had to impose during recent months.
