§ Mr. Noel-BakerI am aware that there was some overcrowding on the omnibus services in East Norfolk during the summer months. Relief omnibuses were provided, so far as there was staff available to man them. I am glad to say that traffic loadings in the area are now considerably reduced, and the road and rail services are considered to be adequate. If, however, my hon. and gallant Friend will give me evidence of any continuing difficulties which there may be, I will cause inquiries to be made.
