§ Mr. Toucheasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport, why the delivery of material by the Ministry's vehicle from E.Y.A.M. to the Nutfield Manufacturing Company, Limited, costs 35s. per ton, whereas when the Company collect themselves it costs them 20s. per ton.
§ Mr. Noel-BakerI am advised that the rate of 35s. per ton for this traffic is fair and reasonable I have no information about the basis on which the Nuffield Company compute their costs, and I cannot, therefore, comment on them.
