HC Deb 21 April 1943 vol 388 cc1712-3W
Major Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport how far, in considering the facilities available as an alternative to road transport, the regional traffic commissioners, with full knowledge of all road facilities in their respective areas, are compelled to call into consultation the appropriate railway representatives to advise on available rail facilities?

Mr. Noel-Baker

Regional transport commissioners, and their officers, maintain constant touch with the railway companies when they are considering the diversion of traffic from road to rail.
