HC Deb 19 November 1941 vol 376 cc352-3W
Mr. Lunn

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport how many complaints he has had regarding the indifference of drivers of private motor cars to the appeals for a lift from service men coming on short leave, especially on Sundays, when there are not many public conveyances on the roads; and if he will take steps to bring home to these drivers how much a little help on their way would be appreciated by service men when on short leave?

Colonel Llewellin

No such complaints have been received within the last six months, but I am glad to have this opportunity of reminding drivers of cars that men of all three Services much appreciate lifts of the kind referred to and that in thus helping men on their way drivers are doing a real good turn for those who deserve it.
