§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether, in the interests of transport economy, he will advise country people to stop in their own districts rather than to go to large centres to buy articles which can be as well and as cheaply obtained nearer at home?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerYes, Sir. My Noble Friend has recently urged on all citizens that they should confine their shopping and recreation to the locality in which they live. I am glad to have this opportunity to reiterate that advice; and to make it plain that the public should, in principle, rely on local amenities, and, should wherever possible, forego the use of all transport over longer distances.
