§ Mr. P. Robertsasked the Minister of Transport whether he will receive a deputation from the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and other local chambers of commerce in order to discuss the establishment of a South Yorkshire, North-East Derbyshire area, centred on Sheffield, for the purposes of Section 6 of the Transport Act, 1947.
§ Mr. BarnesThe Sheffield Chamber of Commerce and other local chambers of commerce have already put before me their view that a Transport Users Consultative Committee should be set up for the South Yorkshire—North-East Derbyshire area, and I have undertaken to bear their representations in mind when determining the areas of these Committees. I do not consider that any further purpose would be served by my receiving a deputation.
