§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Transport whether there is any organisation, and, if so, what, which is concerned with representing at the proceedings before the different Traffic 1645W Commissioners the reasonable claims of pleasure seekers and ordinary tourists in respect of the provision of motor coach traffic; and, if not, whether he will consider the desirability of ensuring the representation of this point of view at all inquiries?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI am not aware of any organisation of the nature referred to. The Traffic Commissioners1646W are required when considering applications for road service licences to have regard to the extent to which any proposed service is necessary or desirable in the public interest, and it is open to the applicants and local authorities concerned to argue before the Commissioners that there is a public demand for the service in question and to call evidence in support of their contention.
