HC Deb 16 April 1951 vol 486 cc124-5W
79. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the fact that the experience of three of the four permanent members of the British Transport Commission has been primarily related to railways and that the Commission lacks persons with wide experience in road transport; and what steps he pro poses to take to remedy this matter.

Mr. Barnes

I had regard to the previous experience of the members of the Commission when I appointed them and I am satisfied that, taking the Commission as a whole, the members make up, in their qualifications and previous experience, a balanced body well able to undertake all its responsibilities.
