HC Deb 22 March 1937 vol 321 c2571W
Mr. Benjamin Smith

asked the Minister of Transport on how many occasions during the past 12 months meetings of the Transport Advisory Council have been dispensed with at the discretion of the chairman; and whether the work normally performed by the council has so far diminished as to justify such cancellations?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The Transport Advisory Council is a responsible body, established by Parliament, which settles its own procedure. I would wish once again to acknowledge the public spirit with which their duties are most diligently and helpfully discharged.
