HC Deb 18 December 1947 vol 445 c406W
Mr. Amory

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make arrangements to increase the number of buses available for rural transport in view of the increased congestion which has resulted from the stopping of the basic petrol ration.

Mr. Barnes

I have no evidence of any general insufficiency of rural transport arising from the abolition of the basic petrol ration. I will look into any individual case which the hon. Member may have in mind if he will send me particulars.
