§ Mr. Snowasked the Minister of Transport if he will review Section 41(b) of the Public Service Vehicles (Licences and Certificates) Regulations, 1952, whereby, unless otherwise prescribed, only 14 days' notification is given by a licensing authority as to the date and place in respect of applications for 275W omnibus services will be heard, bearing in mind the difficulties of rural district councils who cannot consult parish councils whose meetings are relatively infrequent.
§ Mr. Marples: Not on present evidence. Fourteen days is normally the minimum period of notice of hearings, and the applications themselves are normally published somewhat in advance of the notice of hearing. I have had no recent representations to suggest that the arrangements call for review.
