HC Deb 28 April 1931 vol 251 cc1461-2W
Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Minister of Transport (1) whether he has considered the request sent to him from the Association of London Omnibus Proprietors for official guidance as to the representation of their interests on the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee and also as to the need for closer definition so far as they are concerned of Section 99, Sub-sections (2) and (3), of the Road Traffic Act, 1930; and whether he will receive a deputation on this subject;

(2) whether there is any member on the London and Home Traffic Advisory Committee representing and nominated by the Association of London Omnibus Proprietors; and, if not, whether he will consider the appointment of such a nominated member?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I will answer the hon. Member's two questions with regard to the Association of London Omnibus Proprietors, Limited, at the same time. I have considered the applications of the association referred to, and have caused replies to be sent, copies of which I am sending to the hon. Member. He will observe that the association have been informed that I am unable to receive a deputation upon the question which they raise, and I see no reason to alter my decision on this point.
