§ Mr. TILLETTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether, in view of the heavy congestion of traffic so apparent in most towns of any importance and the increasing number of accidents arising therefrom, he will endeavour to expedite the proposed Bill to deal with road transport regulations and, before drafting such Bill, take into consultation all those concerned with the industry?
§ Colonel ASHLEYAs I have already stated, I hope that an early opportunity will present itself of introducing a Road1508W Vehicles Bill giving effect to many of the recommendations contained in the Second Interim Report of the Departmental Committee. In view of the careful and detailed investigation of the whole field of this inquiry carried out by the Committee, and of the opportunities given to those concerned to lay their views before them, I cannot undertake to re-open the inquiry in the manner suggested in the last part of the question, but when I am considering the Bill I shall be glad to consider any representations which may be made to me.
