HC Deb 09 February 1933 vol 274 cc381-2W
Mr. THORNE

asked the Minister of Transport if he has received a report from the traffic commissioner covering the Bradford area in respect to a breach of the Road Traffic Act by the Ryburn United Transport Company, Limited, Bradford, in failing to allow a lorry driver the necessary rest between journeys; and, if so, what action was taken in the matter?

Mr. PYBUS

The traffic commissioners are concerned only with motor omnibuses and coaches, and I have not received any report from them in this matter. It is reported in the Press that fines amounting to £45 with £10 10s. costs were imposed at. the Clerkenwell Police Court on this firm last month for offences under Section 19 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, in connection with the running of a lorry between London and Birmingham.
