HC Deb 01 December 1947 vol 445 cc18-9W
90. Mr. Marples

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the damage by fire to the trams in Liverpool and consequent dislocation of passenger traffic, he will take immediate steps to provide coaches or buses to assist in transporting the public; and whether he will receive a deputation on this matter.

Mr. Callaghan

I understand that 33 buses have already been put into service as a replacement and more are expected. I shall be glad to receive a deputation from the corporation to see how we can help Liverpool and I have written to the town clerk today.
