§ 30. Mr. Laversasked the Minister of War Transport whether in view of the decision of the Northern Area Traffic Commissioner to bring to an end in the near future priority travel and special journey tickets for workers he will take steps to ensure that a. sufficient number of public service vehicles are available to give at least prewar service to the general public.
§ Mr. BarnesThe restoration of the period of validity of 12 journey tickets to 14 days involves the withdrawal of priority travel and the Regional Transport Commissioner has decided that by the end of this month the services will be such as to justify that course. I understand that there are already more vehicles in operation at the evening peak period, when the priority scheme applies, than was the case before the war.
