HC Deb 17 May 1949 vol 465 c15W
57. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Transport what is the policy of his Department regarding the future of electric street traction systems in urban areas in this country.

Mr. Callaghan

My right hon. Friend does not favour keeping systems which require a fixed track in the public road. As regards trolley vehicles, their suitability as compared with motor omnibuses depends on local circumstances.
