Mr. Baker Whiteasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the Regional Transport Commissioner has instructed the East Kent Road Car Company to cancel the priority certificates issued to certain key workers, such as post office personnel; and what is the reason for the cancellation.
§ Mr. BarnesAs the bus services of the East Kent Road Car Company have been considerably strengthened since the priority scheme was first introduced, the Regional Transport Commissioner has notified the company that priority certificates should be discontinued at the end of this month. Representations against the discontinuance of the scheme will be dealt with at a public sitting at Canterbury on 27th January when applications by the East Kent Road Car Company for road service licences will be heard.
