§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Industry whether the new express delivery and document delivery services which he intends to free from that Post Office monopoly will be allowed to be carried by motor-cycle in the major 725W cities; and what consequent increases he envisages in that amount of motor cycle traffic in those cities.
§ Mr. Michael MarshallIt will be for the carrier to choose the method of conveyance. The extent to which motor cycle traffic might increase will depend on how many new carriers enter the field, how far existing firms expand, and how many of them will choose to use motor cycles. It is impossible to make accurate estimates.
