HC Deb 23 June 1920 vol 130 c2218W
Mr. A. HERBERT

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in the interests of national economy, he will consider the desirability of retransferring old and transferring new duties of the Ministry of Transport to other less expensive Departments?

Mr. NEAL

I cannot agree that it is in the interests either of economy or of efficiency to transfer to several distinct Departments those duties which this House decided, after careful consideration, should be united in a single Department.
