§ Mr. Burdenasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the Wood-seats Working Men's Club, Sheffield, in January, 1948, paid a deposit to the Sheffield United Tours, Union Street, Sheffield, for the hire of six motor coaches for an outing to Midville; that the 199W Sheffield United Tours now decline to carry out the booking, alleging reduced petrol allocation; and if he will state the reductions which have been made in the firm's petrol allocation.
§ Mr. BarnesA 12½ per cent. cut has been made in the fuel allowed for public excursions and tours and private party work compared with 1947. Motor coach operators, including Sheffield United Tours, must correspondingly reduce their mileage but they are free to do this in the way they think best.
