HC Deb 15 December 1947 vol 445 c286W
105. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Minister of Transport what plans are being prepared to improve the transport facilities between North Staffs and other parts of the country and in particular what action does he intend to take to improve transport between North Staffs, Manchester, Sheffield, Stafford and Birmingham.

Mr. Barnes

Having regard to present railway difficulties, services between the towns named are considered by the railway companies to be adequate for the traffic offering. It will be the duty of the British Transport Commission to see that transport facilities in the country as a whole are adequate and efficient.
