HC Deb 14 October 1942 vol 383 c1655W
Major Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will give an assurance that in any proposed modification of the Government's Road Haulage Scheme no preferential treatment will be accorded to, nor any monopolistic position conferred on, any particular transport undertakings large or small?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I am happy to assure my hon. Friend that any changes which may be made in the Road Haulage Scheme will be designed to promote the national war effort and not to serve the interest of any particular transport undertaking or classes of undertakings.
