Mr. Harrisonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps he has taken to satisfy himself, in accordance with the undertaking he gave in November, 1952, that the prices obtained for British Road Services lorries, when sold without capital assets other than the 220W haulage business, are not less than the list prices for secondhand vehicles on the ordinary market, sold without the advantage of business connections such as accrue to the British Road Services vehicles.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe duty of seeing that the prices obtained for transport units are reasonable, having regard to the value of the property and the rights to be acquired, is placed by the Transport Act, 1953, on the Road Haulage Disposal Board.
