§ 64. Mr. G. Campbellasked the Minister of Transport how many representations his Department has received to date, objecting to the quantity licensing system proposed in the Transport Bill, from firms and trade associations.
§ Mr. CarmichaelWe have received a great many letters about quantity licensing. Some have expressed approval, others have expressed vehement opposition. But much of the opposition can be attributed to the misrepresentations of the political campaign waged against the proposals. I therefore see no point in attempting an analysis of all letters received.
Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Minister of Transport what factors will be taken into account by the new licensing authorities when considering the criteria of reliability under the proposed quantity licensing arrangements.
§ Mr. CarmichaelAll the factors which have a bearing upon the relative reliability of road and rail services from the consignor's point of view.
