§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Minister of Transport whether he has made a grant of £847 to the Southwark metropolitan borough council towards the cost of certain plant, including the purchase of a steam wagon, which cost the borough £1,430; and whether he is aware that there are large numbers of carters and contractors only too anxious to do the work and thus avoid an extention of municipal trading?
§ Mr. NEALA grant has been made as stated in my hon. Friend's question. No question of municipal trading arises.
