HC Deb 27 July 1955 vol 544 cc147-8W
97. Mr. Daines

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will now bring to an end the special levy upon road vehicles imposed to meet losses on the sale of road transport businesses by the British Transport Commission, having regard to his change of policy on trunk services.

102. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what revised estimate he has made of the loss likely to be incurred by the disposal of vehicles, in view of his decision to permit an increase in the number of vehicles the Transport Commission is to be permitted to retain.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I have nothing to add at this stage to what I said in reply to a supplementary question by the hon. Member for Enfield, East (Mr. Ernest Davies) on 21st July.
