§ Mr. Mitchisonasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that about 45 motor lorries and their drivers are standing idle at the tarmac works at Corby, Northamptonshire; and what use it is proposed to make of them for the transport of coal to the neighbourhood.
§ Mr. BarnesAdequate road transport is available for coal movements in the Midland area, but my area road haulage officer has been in touch with the owners of the tarmac vehicles referred to and they will be used for carrying coal if they are required. I am, however, informed that they may be on their normal work again in about a fortnight.
