§ 34. Mr. Hurdasked the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he has to amend the powers of the Traffic Commissioners to accelerate their procedures.
§ Mr. HoramNone. Although substantial delays can occur, as in the current major Oxfordshire cases, where additional sittings have to be arranged at a time which will suit a large number of interested parties, this is a question of what is practical rather than of procedure. My right hon. Friend would be very ready to consider any proposals for amending regulations to expedite such cases if this can be achieved without prejudicing the rights of those concerned.
