HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 cc627-8W
Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of War Transport if he has any statement to make as to the removal of petrol restrictions; or if he will increase general transportation, particularly in rural areas.

Mr. Barnes

Progressive relaxations are being made in the restrictions affecting goods vehicles. So far as road passenger transport is concerned, we are endeavouring to strengthen services in rural areas to the extent that staff is available. Perhaps the hon. Member will let me know if he has any particular district in mind.
