§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Minister of Transport whether the Government propose to provide compensation to the private omnibus owners whose vehicles it is proposed to remove from the streets and roads of the County of London?
465W
§ Colonel ASHLEYWith regard to the question of compensation, I would refer the hon. Member to Section 13 of the London Traffic Act, which specifically declares that nothing in the Act is to be treated as conferring on any omnibus proprietor any right to the continuance of any benefits arising from the grant of licences. The London Traffic Advisory Committee propose to investigate each individual case in which hardship is alleged to have been caused to omnibus proprietors by the recent Order and to report to me thereon.
