§ Mr. BROCKWAYasked the Minister of Transport, whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation to nationalise the railway services and co-ordinate them with road transport on the basic of a living wage for all railway and transport workers?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThe provisions of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, will, in ray opinion, enable a substantial measure of co-ordination to be achieved between railway and road passenger services. The Act will also contribute towards the establishment of better conditions of employment in the industry of road transport generally. The Royal Commission on Transport has received evidence as to the possibility of coordination between goods transport by road and the railways and on the question of nationalising the railways, and should prefer not to anticipate the findings of their report, which may he expected shortly.
